Raspberry Pi Photo Booth
For the 2016 Christmas staff party I was commissioned to build a photo booth. I was free to make design it however I wanted it and this is what I came up with. It has taken inspiration from a Leica M8 camera. The software is modified open source code to suit my needs and can be downloaded below. Information about the building process and how to get the flash driver going can be found in my blog.

Build Documentation
Run photobooth.py on startup
For your party you might want to deploy your photo booth without having to bring a mouse and keyboard, or start your program through the touchscreen. The solution i ended up using was one I found on the raspberry pi forums (kudos to klricks).
