Photobooth!

More DIY stuffs. This time in the form of photo booth fun!
As I started work last night, I bumped into Kano, a friend and also who runs a live arts night in town called Any Which Way.
We got to talking and he asked if I would like to maybe do some form of interactive photography at the next one (in a month).
I'm not massively confident with my photography at the moment, so taking photo's of people for a blog or something kind of scares me! But then I got to thinking about something I saw a while ago whilst browsing t'interweb.
The idea simply, is to build some form of DIY photobooth in a corner of the room, for people to just use at their will. I like the idea that people can be free to go crazy in there, and because there would be no human taking the photo and some form of curtain to cover you, that people would lose there inhibitions a little and do stuff they wouldn't normally do on camera! Also, booze will be flowing so there could be some interesting results!
My only difficulty now, is finding a way of making this thing. Because it needs to be easy to use, well lit but also covered and also stable enough that people wont just steal the camera!
I would like to use a 35mm camera really, or some kind of instant film if my budget stretched! So that then, once the photo's are developed, I can create some kind of photo booth wall for the next Any Which Way and carry it on!
If you have any ideas it would be very appreciated!
This is what made me think of the idea.
And THIS would be fricking sweet!
