I am so amazed at how far digital technology has brought us in the last few years. It was only yesterday that I remember having to get passport-like photos taken at a photo shop. The attendant would wield this large bulky camera that made four pictures from the one shot which would self-develop right in front of you. You only had one go, unless you wanted to fork out the $8 once again.

Photo stores still take them today, but no doubt, just like myself, do them with digital cameras. But why pay so much money when you can do them yourself. Not only do you get to keep taking them until you’re happy with the photos but you can even touch them up if you get really desperate. Merging many headshots into a single file is easy with any image manipulation software and transporting them to be printed on 4×6 (in either Matte or Glossy) couldn’t be easier with the wide variety of media (CD, compact flash, SD, USB drive) available. Better yet, you can get at least 8 pictures done for less than $1! Sweet.
