# Summary

The pibooth project has been a great resource to building an easy raspberry pi photobooth. We’ve had so much fun with it and it has made an appearance at two parties so far.

# Features

take photos, save and sync photos, and print photos at will
Easy to use
cheap (most expensive component = raspberry pi)
written in python and open source
Nice plugin architecture
- ability to automatically send to a google photos album
- ability to modify picture layout with a draw.io template

# Final Results

Success!!

# Version 1- Oct ‘22

Halloween themed - Worked great but I wasn’t happy about how many cables I had lying around…

Baby shower themed - was a hit! I notice that it is difficult to look at the camera up above when the screen is a foot below it. We get a few pictures where everyone is looking at the screen instead of the camera. Stay tuned for improvements for version 3…
