编者按：一张旧照片可以成就一篇英语作文，只要你想象力足够丰富，就能运用周围的事物来写作文。
A photo was needed for my application, which drove me to have a photo taken in a photo studio nearby. A young fellow was the owner and the single worker of the studio. He appeared not to be specialized in photography, for the facilities were not where they should be.
Having got everything ready, the fellow signed me to take the wooden tool before an ugly background. At the mercy of his instructions, I moved from side to side. His smelly hands contributed to my right posture. Releasing the camero, he let out a sigh: "It is done!"
I pushed myself over to the computer where he worked on my picture. A least pleasant face came into sight. A thich-lipped mouth and sleepy eyes featured the photo, which prevented me from taking any pleasure. The fellow had to apply all the new technology to polish the picture. However,the fellow turned a deaf ear to my suggestions. I concluded his efforts were a vain attempt. I threatened to refuse to take the picture.
The fellow did not attempt to compromise, and murmured:" Do you think I can turn a redneck into a film star?!'
I was choked at his remark. I didn't know how I felt my way out of the terrible studio.
