I knew that I would not enjoy my passport photos being taken anywhere else outside my own place, and I also knew that I won’t be surprised if the photos they took are not something what I would like to have, but I was still quite surprised when I saw how that lady in the Foxy shop was holding the camera and trying to shoot me in front of a piece of long white canvas cloth. At that moment, I knew exactly I am losing my last hope on this. So when she said “come back in 45 minutes to pick them up and pay”, I instantly had a nasty idea and that was “I am not coming back to pay”.

This is such a waste of time and money. I believe both my equipment and skill are all much better than hers. And I have almost everything (the motivation and good attitude toward Excellency) that I would need to develop a perfect passport photo for myself, while she has nothing except a fixed business location with a banner of shop’s name. I felt so stupid to hand over my next 10 years image on my most important identification file to a woman who apparently can not do better than I do.

But decision has been made and the action has been taken. There is no way back. The only thing we can do now is to do it all over again by ourselves in this weekend.
