In Bangkok we were despirately looking for a photo studio as passport photos needed for Myanmar Embassy. I don’t know if they can be found in embassy area, but as we were passing the embassy already, decided to ask. It was a door for burmese but we were invited inside and the friendly lady asked to stand at the wall and took a passphoto with a simple small soap box camera and then printed them. The new photo for Indian visa must be a quadraat size, in Yangoon now there is an office near Indian embassy who fill in the forms and tear your 3×4 photo somewhat wider by the computer so that you are really surprised to see yourself on the photo. But it’s ok for embassy. 7 or 8 € in the Indian embassy in Brussels for a pale low quality photo.

When I did the Walgreens photo back in 2001 they simply pulled down a dirty screen in front of the ice cream freezer and I waited for 45 minutes – for the same thing I could have done myself on the machine. (printing out a photo)

With excellent and inexpensive photo editing software, plus more people obtaining passports for Canada/Mexico travel many have realized they don’t need the, – ahem – “professionals” at Walgreens to take a photo of them for $8.

cheers…

In most cases I’ve been to the store, the people taking the pictures hardly knew the requirements! The quality is always poor and the background looks piss yellow. Plus I’d always end up looking very sketchy in those pictures. For a while I fell under the ‘magic requirements’ belief, but I won’t pay for passport photos again.

Doing it at home is good because the studio guys are idiots (lol), they never get a good picture of me and they are always hesitant to take more pics, as if their digital camera is going to die or something. Plus somehow I don’t like pics in artificial lighting with fake neutral expressions on face and other annoying things they ask you to do. So I always took pics at home and printed them at my office printer, lol!
