I had a hardtime getting photos in Bay Area yesterday. SFO cons specifically says photos should NOT have white background. also prints at home are not permitted. ( i wanted to do it but I was worried that after all the effort they would find out and reject the appl ). So I went to Costco,Walgreens,Riteaid,Longs drugs, Savon pharmacy and none of them said they could take non-white photos. Finally I found a chinese 1 hr photo guy in Sunnyvale who took it on light blue background..he charged $19 for 6 copies....I was so frustrated I was ready to shell out any $$ for this stupid background reqts.
