PHOTO BOOTHS ARE HISTORY!

ITV's "The Time of Your Life" television series recently featured an outdoor Photo-Me booth as a sort of time travel device. The Glasgow Herald, with true Glaswegian sensitivity, pointed out that these booths are practically history themselves. Photo-Me is breaking up and is planning to sell off its vending division, which is responsible for photo booths. ID photos from booths have suffered from high rejection rates in recent years as specifications for the photographs have become stricter, particularly in passport applications. Many customers now get their photo taken in-store instead on a digital ID Photo camera.
