Being a ****trait photographer myself I just can't look at a ghostly-white,
ears-pinned-back photo of myself for ten years. So I take my own; I used
to
print them as well, in b/w, but in the days of digital they go elsewhere,
still in b/w. I just want it to look decent. Although now smiling is
verboten I do look as if I'm about to deck someone.
Paspic, I suspect, are making some money out of this. They use thermal
paper, so it's better than most people could manage at home, and of course
the original is no longer used; a good inkjet original might be good
enough,
but would it scan?
