You have to be careful about this, however. Walmart I know has this
weird policy whereby if they think your photos look too good, and
might have been taken by a pro, they will refuse to make your prints.
This sounds like an urban legend, but it really did happen to my
brother-in-law, to his incredible and vociferous (via forwarded email)
annoyance. The weird thing is that he isn't *that* great a
photographer; he just made sure the background was decent and that
people were actually looking at the camera.
