Create: Passport pictures

Check it out, Create, This is life

I was all out of passport photos and remembered that I needed some for tomorrow. While Allison was away at work, I followed this tutorial and made myself some regulation passport photos on Photoshop. I’ve always thought passport photos were WAY too expensive for what you got. A couple summers ago when I worked at a photo processing center, I would help people make their passport pictures on the Kodak photo machine. All you needed was a ruler to make sure your head was the correct height, and then you zoomed in or out. Would you rather pay 29 cents for 4 photos, or $6.00/$7.00 for 2 photos at Kinko’s?

They turned out okay, but I had to take the picture myself, which mean you could see me hold the camera. It’s not THAT bad, and they’re sufficient for what I need them for. I’ll make better ones later when someone else can hold the camera.

    that’s funny on how you commented on kinko’s. i use to work there in Calli working the grave yard shift. i hated it and they over charge for everything. i say do it yourself if you have the time and tools.
