| |  Last month we talked about what Canditto is. This month I'll share some secrets on how it works.
We'll start by comparing Canditto to the traditional way of collecting guests' photos, then we'll discuss some great venues for Canditto, and end with a little dispatch from the field.
Thanks for allowing me into your email inbox again. Let me know if you want to be removed from this list or if you know of someone who needs to hear about Canditto -- we sure enjoy giving hosts a fresh new way to capturing their special day.
With a smile,
Rush
| What Do You See Here?
(Hint: This is not a Canditto client)
|  1. I see two people photographing something at a wedding.
2. I see a really poor quality image.
Of course both answers are correct. This photo was taken at a wedding using a disposable camera. But the guests you see are using their own digital cameras to photograph the groom's mom on the dance floor.
This image demonstrates a lot about Canditto. First, it reminds us how ubiquitous those guests' digital cameras are at weddings and other special parties. It also highlights the disappointing quality of disposable cameras.
With Canditto, the bride and groom would have these guests' high resolution photos without the hassle of buying disposable cameras and paying to process pictures like the one you see here.

| | Just for Weddings? |  No way! Though you'll often see wedding related photos on our website, the service can be used anywhere there are lots of smiling faces and the occasional digital camera.
Summer camps, school outings, public events like beach clean ups and fund raising walks are all great places for Canditto. And starting this month, Canditto can be battery powered to work at remote outdoor events! (Photo Courtesy of Brown Ledge Camp)
| From the Field:
Where Does it Go?
|
 Whether inside a hotel, private home or a club facility, smart placement of the kiosk helps guests know that their hosts are looking forward to gathering their pictures.
One of the best ways to do this is to situate it in a well lit, uncongested area that every guest is sure to visit.
That's why we often start by walking toward the bathrooms - at least for an initial location. Later on, we can easily move Canditto to a spot near the door to make sure all guests use it before they leave. As the video shows, using it only takes a moment to use!
| | | | How Do You Say It?
| People frequently ask how to pronounce Canditto.
Is it Can-dit-toe, or Can-deet-oh?
The name is a combination of candid and ditto, so around here, we pronounce it can-dit-toe.
But whatever you want to call it, Canditto means fun pictures of your event, delivered right away, or as we sometimes paraphrase,
Event Candids, Copied.
| Pass it on!
