The story · 1987

The story of Laser Backdrop Portrait

Picture day meant your nicest sweater, extra hairspray and the moment of truth: the background choice. Most kids picked the laser beams, which made every portrait look like you were about to fly a spaceship. Wallet-size copies got traded at lunch, and the backs were covered in sign-it-or-else messages.

Fun fact

The photographer always said the same joke about cheese, and nobody in the history of picture day laughed.
