A while ago, when I saw Mark Kater, he showed me the vinyl sticker he got for his Macbook Pro. The next time I stopped by, I remembered to photograph it.

The processing is pretty much the Toy Camera preset in Aperture. Pretty powerful huh?
He got it from some place on etsy. It turns out die-cut vinyl Macbook decals that incorporate the apple logo are hugely popular—there are literally hundreds of them.
It reminded me that this idea started when a a Magritte laser etching made a huge splash at BarCamp SF a few years ago and someone suggested they make a vinyl version for those on a budget. Which in turn reminds me that we need to lobby Matt and Toni to get a laser engraver for the Pier. That’ll give us something to do with all the passerbys that think we’re still a candlestore. 😀
Of course, while I was kneeling there shooting his laptop, I took a photo or two of Mark:

Exposure was so far off, I’m amazed I recovered anything.

Sharpness is off because people can’t stay still—and by “people” I really mean my hand. My film effects action got the right saturation, but messed up his face. Thankfully, Aperture 3 as a skin smoothing tool.
By the way, Mark got a Macbook as a gift to his wife, Michelle. He had our friend Gerry use his vinyl cutter to make a custom design for the back of it:
Maybe Dutch Pride Shop need a vinyl Macbook sticker section. 😀
I wonder if I should redirect http://www.markkater.nl to here… you write more about me than I do! 😀 Oh well, at least you linked to the Dutch Pride Shop, I'm sure sales will SOAR now, haha.
