School photos in a consumer society


Someone at the bus stop this morning asked why we got school photos, and I had to stop and wonder. Just why do we get school photos in a digital age where I take 2-3 photos most days? Why do I need the slightly awkward smiling at a stranger studio photo?
Here, you can buy a school photo printed on a pillow case, or a 40 page journal notebook (with the photo in colour on the front and in black and white as a background on every page!), just to name a few options.
