This is a scan of a photograph made at OutTakes, a store located in Universal Studios City Walk in Los Angeles, California. You stand in front of a blue screen and they chroma-key you into a scene of your choice. Within an hour, they touch up the merged image and print it out for you on high-quality glossy prints. I had this one made in the summer of 1994. The whole thing cost me about $80 American.

   The lady there liked my picture so much better than the one that was up for display that she replaced it with a duplicate of mine. (I don't know if it's still there!)
