Groundwork / Piece three · photobooth
A meadow in Sedgewold, the viaduct in the fog, the booth waiting in the corner

A camera that asks first.

Take a snapshot anywhere in the grid and the booth turns it into a picture for the web. But a picture with people in it belongs a little to each of them. So nobody is shown anywhere they didn't say yes to.

01 · Taking it

Touch, snapshot, save.

Wear the booth, touch it, then take a snapshot the way you always do and save it to your inventory. The booth takes it from there. No new camera to learn: the picture looks exactly like what you saw.

The booth itself is free. It takes up to thirty pictures a day, then rests until midnight.

The button shows where your picture is, so the chat stays quiet.

02 · Who's in it

Everyone in it gets asked.

The booth knows who is standing in the picture. Each of them finds it in their own account and decides for themselves, quietly, with no one watching. Until they do, the picture stays with you.

A picture goes only as far as the most careful person in it allows. Try it: tap the people on the right.

If you'd rather not be asked every time, you can say yes once in your account, for the gallery or for everything.

03 · The reporter

Someone writes the caption.

Every picture is looked at by the booth's reporter, who writes one line under it: where it was, what the light was doing. If you have something to say, add a line of your own and it goes along.

Now and then the reporter says no, usually because a picture is too dark to show anything. Then it stays yours, and nothing is lost.

04 · Letting go

Thirty days, then it's yours alone.

The web keeps a picture for thirty days. Download it in full size whenever you like. After that it leaves the website, and the original is still where it always was: in your inventory. Only a picture that made the login screen or the paper stays.

Changed your mind? Touch the booth twice and choose Withdraw. Your pictures come down from the gallery, the paper and the login screen.
