Daybreak Photobooth



I volunteered last weekend by setting up a photobooth at a back to school carnival in Lincoln Heights, DC. Daybreak ministries sponsored the carnival and was able to provide over 400 kids from Lincoln Heights with backpacks filled with school supplies. Alongside carnival games, rides and food I setup a photobooth and a printer and took portraits. For two tickets you got a 4x6 portrait to take home with you. There was a big turnout for people wanting pictures of themselves and family members. We had many return customers, at times perhaps too many. We got deep in the weeds when the generator ran out of gas, the printer ran out of ink and we we had to relocate by the DJ area. Our patrons stuck by us and it was hard to turn many of them away at closing time. All around an excellent day. Here are a few of my favorites.
