Ma, I Need Passport Photos..

What do you do when your kid asks for a passport sized photo? Go to the photo shop and get it done?

Son recently asked us that. And he had to be dressed in a coat and tie... for his school magazine, he said. School mags have also gone corporate. 8(

It was late.... My boy has this penchant for this last minute thing. What do you do when you need a photo so late into the night when all the shops are closed? Google to the rescue! Other half googled up men's formal wear, scanned an old pic of Son and we 'Photoshopped' everything. Armani suit, Giordano, silk tie to match, well pressed, suits fit for stars, bow tie if required... all possible with Google and an inkjet printer.
The photo was soon ready with an impeccable suit to match. Now I've a good-looking son in a good-looking body in a good-looking suit. ROFL!

We had a good laugh over it... technology and how it has changed our way of getting a photo taken.
