Santa pictures-artists (NOT)

Of course I am one of the students that live away from my family and christmas break is spent with my now family household, so the perfect gifts for the parents I choose to not go see is pictures of us! The thing I do every year is get pictures with my daughter and santa,. Can I say rip off yes, these people they hire at the mall should at least know how to use a camera and take decent pictures for the $20 a sheet they charge, but no they're complete amateurs. This is why I am glad that the photo booths and old studio set ups in malls are going away (no more picture people) and yes more individual photographers taking some great work for instance Maryn Photography a local photographer! and that is my ending rant for the semester:-)
