Island Booth FAQ

Island Booth notes, tips, and techniques.

Island Booth + Facebook

Can I put my photo on Facebook?

For public events (like when we’re at the market), we make a Facebook album.
From the Facebook album you can Like, Tag and Share your photo.

‘Like’ our Facebook page and we’ll let you know when we upload a new album, or see our Gallery for older albums.

For private events (for a small fee) we can select and upload the best photo strips and individual photos (frames) for you.

You’re also welcome to photocopy, scan, or email your booth pix.
