These jumpin' pics were taken in Nueva Ecija, Calbayog, Surigao, and Siargao hittin' up all three main islands of the Philippines. Even over the Pacific Ocean yo!

Facebook Distribution

Hello all, 

Here is a slick way to keep notified anytime ActionBooth updates either an event gallery or a ninjablog. If you have a Facebook account, please follow the instructions here if you'd like to be part of the AB electronic distribution team. It is fairly simple and once you have it set up, you don't have to do anything else but sit back and relax.

First, choose which RSS you would like to import to your notes. We have a Gallery RSS for each event. That is a link to the newest and latest event that ActionBooth has shot. The other one is the NinjaBlog, which is random actionbooth news and crew member updates. You can get the NinjaBlog RSS feed address here. A similar link is also on the main gallery page if you choose to showcase the gallery blog. 

Once you have the address copied log into your facebook account and go to your Notes application. Within there, there is a button off to the side where you can edit the setting of your notes. 

Paste the link you got from the RSS feed page and accept the terms and conditions box. It will begin to import all the blog posts to your notes app. Once this is up, that is pretty much 

all there is it do. New blog posts will be imported to your notes, your notes will show on your mini-feed and your activity will be on your friends home news feed. Show some love! Share ActionBooth news!

Molly Versus Boom--Place Your Bets

Action Booth started from one individual's enthusiasm and artistic talent and an entire group's willingness to look silly and strike cheeky poses. Action Booth has rapidly evolved since its first occurrence at the Shiku Garu party in 2007, and with each event, we ninjas continue to improve our style. Action Booth is a hobby that doesn't end after events are over and venues are closed. Jumping photos can be practiced and captured anywhere with the simplest point and shoot camera.

Thus, it begins: a race of international proportions has commenced in this final month of the year two thousand and eight. Action Booth has gone global.

I challenge Boom to a Southeast Asian jumping contest.

Boom covers the Phillipines and Singapore. I cover Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Absolutely no rules or regulations; such words aren't in a ninjas vocabulary, after all. The winner (determined by your comments) is the one who posts the best, most epic, and innovative picture that is true to Action Booth's mission: catalyzing and capturing moments!

What's the formula for a good ActionBooth picture?

There really is no formula.

Although ninja acrobatics up your chances, they're not a prerequisite. Typical event photographers take pictures of people at events. ActionBooth takes those people and makes their fun THE event.

As one of AB's social instigators, I try to show newcomers just 'how' to ActionBooth. They'll ask me, "OK, so what do I do?" My reply is "You can do anything you want, but this is ActionBooth - not BoringBooth or StandStillBooth. "Do I have to jump?" No, but it looks so cool and is fun as hell!


Challenge: see if you can fit all of yourself in the frame without cutting any hands/feet/hair out of the photo.

Ninja Duty

Kickass! Now we got our own ninja blog! Booya! My first entry will be about ninja duty. It is our duty as AB Ninjas to promote AB. Help out AB by telling friends an co-workers about AB. If your company has an events department or someone in charge of setting up company parites. Shoot them and email with the AB link and suggest having AB at an event! I'm personally trying to get RedEye and the Tribune to pick up AB! Hopefully something will happen with that!

ActionBooth Ninjas, Untie!

Testing Testing, one... two.. three... JUMP!

This is where everyone who I have invited to blog can blog remotely on the ActionBooth site. You can upload video, photos, music and junk and be able to post it on the actionbooth.com/ninjablog/ page.

Currently, I have the normal blog on the site which has to be updated here on my laptop which sucks. Now I give you all access to make cool changes on this page to give news, or upload a random action picture from where ever you may be at blogging. 

Some guidelines about uploading images, I don't think I care what size of a picture that you do, just set the preview to small, it automagically makes it a hyperlink where you can see the almost original size/quality of the picture you uploaded anyways. Other than that, this is a pretty dope added feature. ABNinjas and bad spellers of the world, UNTIE!

International Jumping!

Hey y'all ( ActionBooth fans, jumpers, potential participants, etc.)
Hollering from halfway across the world in the Philippines! I hope you have had tons of fun participating in ActionBooth. We got one more event this month in Michigan which I'm sure will be a blast. I'm going to take some pictures with my point and shoot camera of me jumping somewhere here in South-East Asia and post them here soon.
Keep doing that thing you do (Ideally, jumping!)
