Passport picture/Photo d'identité

Voilà la première photo d'identité d'Ozan. La loi devient de plus en plus stricte et maintenant les bébés comme Ozan doivent avoir leur propre passeport. Non seulement ça, mais la photo doit correspondre à certains critères: ses yeux doivent être ouverts, le fond doit être de couleur blanche, ni ses mains ni celles de ses parents ne doivent apparaître sur la photo, et il ne doit pas sourire. Inutile de dire que c'etait l'aventure pour prendre cette photo à Walgreens. Deniz devait maintenir Ozan en position assise sur une chaise pendant que le photographe se préparait a prendre la photo. Au signal Deniz devait lâcher Ozan et espérer que le photographe prenne la photo avant que le bébé ne s'écroule comme un sac à patates. Après 21 tentatives voici le résultat.
Here is Ozan's first passport picture. So the law on passports is more and more strict and even little babies like Ozan need a picture on their passport. Not only that, the picture has to correspond to strict criteria: his eyes must be open, he needs to have a white background behind him, his hands can't be in front of his face and last but not least you can't have the parent's hands showing on the picture! So it was a challenge to get this picture taken in Walgreens. Deniz had to hold him up in a sitting position on a makeshift chair while the photographer got ready to snap the picture, then she would count to three and Deniz would quickly remove her hands and the photographer would try to get the shot before Ozan collapsed like a bag of potatoes. It took 21 tries and here is the outcome.
