The Span Of Time Via Photobooth

Love this! Love Photobooth too.....I need to use it more often!
Thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Ali~getting ready to purchase a mac laptop~I have always owned PC's but with my hobby for scrapbooking and photography I am ready to make the change. Do you have any suggestions for a mac laptop???

thanks ali! i have photo booth too, but never used it and now i know how and a purpose!

Such a great idea- never IMAGINED to use my webcam for this! I have a PC @ home so my project tonight will be to figure out how to use it!

We have photo booth too, and it's great. Our daughter, who is now 3, made her first photo booth appearance around her first birthday and it's great to flip back and see how her hair and cheeks have changed. We often play with the different perspectives too and have lots of great pictures of the whole family morphing their heads into pinholes or pillows. I think it's one of the best apps on the Mac!

Do you have to have a Mac for this to work? I love this idea! I have a PC (I wish I had a Mac!) and I'm not sure how to do it.

Love the photos - great way to document changes over time. I noticed your wooden stamps in the printer's drawer, that's how I store mine also. I have two old printer's drawers which hold all my wooden stamps and I love having them out where I can see them and grab something easily.

Love this, but I don't have a Mac. I really want one though. These pics also make me want to see your new office!

cute!

Ali: we love photobooth too! Especially my son. He really gets into it. Making funny faces and all. I used it for my week in the life documentation. Though I need to get a better background then my kitchen. But I'm always on my computer at the Kitchen table, since this is where the kids play during the day. Haven't tried taking a photo while skypeing though. I think it's something I need to try. Think it would make a nice gift for Nana to have an album of various skype photos of her talking to her grandkids, over a period of time.

I've also used iMovie to take videos of me with the kids. The most notable is of me and my son on his 3rd birthday last year dancing to "I got a feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas.

Very cool! Thanks!

Now this post is timely!! I just discovered I had PhotoBooth on my hard drive last night!!

By the way, I love your new glasses.

I had to go and find Photobooth - and play! I'll be using this with the grandkids!

This is great. Would make a special lay-out. Ps: Ali, you have beautiful hands!

Ali, I was perusing Molly Irwin's blog for inspiration from her 2008/2009 December Daily albums (gorgeous!! http://mollyirwin.typepad.com/mollyirwin/december-daily-2009/). In one of them she references a quote that you used and credited to Sister Joan Chittister, but I can't seem to find it in your archives. Can you please re-share if you're so inclined? Thanks so much! :)

Very sweet photos. Love your white coat with the ruffle!

Hi Ali, this is a great idea and one I should implement. On a completed unrelated point, I was watching Parenthood last night and here in Australia we are up to the episode where they run for Autism Speaks. Not sure if you watch or not anyway - long story short I dreamt about the show and you were in it - weird but not really given that I heard about Autism Speaks through you, I have a 12 year old son with Asperger's so I really related to the show. Anyway keep up the great blog posts! Cheers Jane

I love Photo booth, I find the funniest pictures my kids have taken when I least expect it. I like your variety of eye ware, too cute. I am a sucker for some cute peeps.

Interesting post. I'm just about to upgrade our computers from PC to Macs so will be interested to use this feature. I've recently just lost my Dad to cancer and then his sister died suddenly and we've been going through all the family photos etc.. as everything was left to my siblings and I when our aunt died. It made me realise that I need to get on the other side of the camera more. For the sake of my kids and grandchildren when I'm not around any more. A legacy of love and a documentary of life to leave.

Sometimes I forget that my Mac is actually more than a word processor. Thanks for reminding me about the cool tool that is Photo Booth.
