Hi,

For anyone looking to save a bit of cash (the K-1 process can be costly!!) I have to give a shout-out to ePassport Photos.com! I was able to use my own digital camera to take a photo and crop it to exact specifications for free using this site. The file you end up with has 5 photos on a 4x6 sheet, which I saved it on my memory stick and took to Shoppers Drug Mart, where I printed it for 49 cents!!

You'll need 6 photos for the entire process, which costs under $1 using this method (and about $30 if you were to get them taken 2 at a time).

I'm no mathematician, but I think a savings of $29 is something to get excited about :)

:rofl: You couldn't have said it any better. In these economic times, every little one can save is a welcom repite.

I was thinking about doing these myself, but last time I visited my girl in PH, we went to a local Kodak photoshop and the local rate for eight 2x2 photos, for both of us, was 180 pesos total (about $4) for 16 photos. That included intital photography fee for both of us. I told them to print an extra set for my girl for another $1 and they gave us a CD with the electronic proofs for more printing later! Kinkos here in San Diego is $15.95 for 2 photos! And Kinkos $15.95 for EVERY order of two photos! So...24 photos cost me $5 in PH and would have cost almost $200 at Kinkos :bonk:

I've heard from others that PH has really cheap photos! The best I could find here (Toronto) was $8.99 for two photos. It was kinda funny when I printed them at Shopper's Drug Mart... the look on the face of the employee who runs the photo booth (which also does passport photos) was priceless :)
