I purchased the suitcase at a thrift store in Niles, MI a few years ago and it’s just been waiting for a project like this.

I found a few tutorials on similar projects and decided this would be a perfect use for the suitcase.

I was commissioned in April to build the photo booth for an October wedding and overall it took me about 2 months worth of work (most of the being the programming).

The workflow goes like this
- Hit the button
- 4 pictures are taken
- It builds a gif
- Begins printing the photo strip
- Displays the 4 pictures to the user
- Starts over again

There are options that can be turned on to have the photos uploaded to tumblr/twitter, but I found without a super reliable internet connection, this could make the total cycle time over 3 minutes long. In the end, I decided to ditch the upload part and just have the images saved to a thumb drive that can be removed after the event is over.

Great job on the photo booth project! Your creativity shines through. If you ever want to enhance your photos, you can try Photo Editor them with this app. It might add an extra touch of magic to your already wonderful photos!

Why did you spent 2 months? Seems fairly easy? What was the hardest part?
