I have to have a photo taken today in one of those photo booths and I'm dreading it.
They're never particularly flattering and with my self esteem constantly teetering on the precipice it's probably going to be a depressing afternoon.

What shall I buy in town to cheer myself up?

Apparently the trick to these photo-me-booths
is to hold a sheet of white paper, or similar, underneath your face (out of shot, obv) which will reflect the light upwards creating a more flattering picture.
I think I got that from How2 or somewhere...

I find the secret is to never show anyone the photos they produce.
