We have just commissioned the first of our new photo booths. This has a number of improvements to the older units we have, they break down into smaller lighter sections, hopefully doing away with those odd occasions when we had to manhandle booths up fire escapes etc. The units are fitted as standard with external 15inch displays, allowing adverts, video clips, messages etc to be displayed, perfect for corporate events, and lastly they are fitted with uprated control systems meaning that they can be operated with higher resolution cameras, but still print quicker than the older systems.
Hire A London Taxi Photo Booth

With our range of photo booths and photo services going so well, we have just launched our latest project, converting an ex London Black Cab into a fully functioning photo booth. This is fitted with the same Canon DSLR camera system as our regular photo booths, along with a professional Dye Sublimation print system and Asus touch screen control panel. Professional lighting from Bowens or Elinchrom will be fitted to complete the set up.

We provided photography services to the Kids 2 Kids Purple ball last Saturday. The event was enjoyable if a little chilly (we were stationed near the door to the marquee and the temperature had just plummeted). We took the opportunity to try out a new touch screen and multiple printer setup which worked flawlessly so that is something we will be expanding upon.
Part of the entertainment was Edna's Hat, the group formed by members of the cast of Emmerdale. In this instance we had the characters of Carl and Jenny, Paddy unfortunately was otherwise engaged. I wasn't expecting a lot from them but they ended up surprising me and put on a really good act. The actor who plays Eric Pollard was also there and he appeared to be a really good sport, taking the time to have his picture taken with numerous guests, running the charity auction and generally being pleasant company. Talking to one of the organisers he explained that Eric (Or Chris Chittell) to give him his proper name undertakes a lot of charity work, so it is nice to hear good things of a celebrity for a change.
Paparazzi Photography Services

Watching some of the spoof comedy's on TV I used to think that the scriptwriters must have had excellent imaginations. But as I have got older I begin to realise that many of the situations are based on real people, and that no matter how hard you try to make something idiot proof, there will always be a better class of idiot that finds you.
Now, on our Candy Floss Crazy website there is a contact page, this can be viewed here . On the page in larger letters than anywhere else on the page it states PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT HIRE OUT CATERING VANS FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO USE!
Now I wrote it in English, I am pretty sure it was uploaded to our server in English, and I am absolutely certain that when you access the page it is still printed in English, so is there any rational explanation why we receive on average 5-6 enquiries a week from people wanting a quote on hiring catering units for their own use? THe all time best one was the following conversation I received last summer;
Caller "Erm, Hello, I know that you do not hire out catering vans for other people to use, but could you give me a price please to hire out a catering van for us to use?"
Me "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"
Caller "Excuse me"
Me "Parlez Vous Francais?"
Caller "I dont understand"
Me "Kun je spreken Nederlands"
Caller "Excuse me why are you speaking all these foreign languages to me"
Me "Because you seem to be struggling with English, so I am trying to discover what your native tongue is"
Caller "Well I DO speak English"
Me "Oh right, well the phrase WE DO NOT HIRE OUT CATERING VANS FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO USE, means exactly what it says"
Photo Crazy, the specialist photography arm of JARM Amusements is pleased to announce that it will be supporting the Kids 2 Kids Charity by providing free photographic and Paparazzi services at their prestigious launch event, the Purple Ball.
More details of the charity can be found at kids2kids
We will be setting up a studio and print station to print and sell images on the evening, we will also be providing walkabout paparazzi photographers to help catch the informal going ons throughout the evening.

Candy Floss Crazy Is Now A Registered Trademark
Due to some potential licensing opportunities, we have now registered Candy Floss Crazy and its variations as trademarks with the relevant offices. This will not only protect our brand, but also allows it to be licensed for use by other operaators, more news on this soon.
I am currently performing jury service at my local Crown Court. Its the first time I have been involved in any way in court and I have to say its a colossal waste of time and resources. THe first day we sat there from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. Then we were sworn in on a case of assault. After spending 2 hours listening to evidence it was adjourned for the day. Upon taking our seats the next morning, the judge apologised, but informed us that the defence council had put forward a motion to have the trial dismissed due to lack of direct evidence. The judge agreed with this, made me the foreman of the jury and ordered me to acquit the defendant. Now, both prosecuting and defending councils had copies of the witness statements, could this motion to dismiss not have been put forward at the start of the trial and saved everyone half a day?
We were then sent home and told to ring an anserphone for our start time on the third day, upon doing this we were informed that we werent needed on the third day and to ring after 4pm to find out if we needed to come in on the fourth day, mesmerising stuff, just like being on Law and Order, and for anyone who doesn't know me that was sarcasm!
