As a kid, I recall so vaguely how common imaging centers were. Left and right, no matter which mall I would find myself in, there was one to be found. And I also, would find myself there as a student at least twice a year for ID pictures. But fast forward to about a decade later, it's impossible to notice how lacking they are. No surprise there, considering the boom of digital photography and digital media. Few and far between are the people who still seek out imaging centers to have their photos printed out or films developed/processed.
So when I needed some photos for a visa application and my printer was on the fritz, I panicked. That's when my sister-in-law told me about Tronix Imaging Center in SM Hypermarket Pasig, which is five minutes from our place. Headed over there after dinner one Saturday evening, and the lady in charge was very polite and helpful. She made me feel comfortable, asked me to put on a blazer as visa and passport pictures need to bear some formality, and I smiled for the picture. Waited a couple of minutes for her to cut them, put them in a tiny envelope, and off I went. Just like the good old days, but on a higher level. Fast, convenient, seamless. Thank you Tronix! read more
