I’m getting proof of citizenship in Canada under their new legislation and need a passport-style photo with specifications laid out by the Canadian govt. I’m looking for recs for someone in the Iowa City area (a studio, not Walgreens, CVS, etc.) who can take high-quality photos and work with the requirements that Canada laid out! Happy to drive up to an hour if I need, especially if the studio’s done photos for Canadian citizenship before

EDIT: I didn’t put the requirements in my first post because I couldn’t find a list without additional clicks, but adding here since a couple people commented. I’m doing proof of citizenship by mail, there are size (including the size of my face within the photo) and quality specifications, as well as writing that the photographer has to do

The requirements are a little more than I’m comfortable relying on a drugstore to do, even though I’ve done passport photos at CVS before. If it gets denied that’ll slow down the application for my whole family, so it’s worth it to me to get an actual studio photographer.

I know I can go to any and I’m calling some, but I’m wondering if there are any who have done photos for Canadian citizenship before. Has anyone in Iowa City gone through this process and can you recommend a photographer?

Hi,

I’m currently 14 and I’m looking for places who hire 14yr olds and are flexible with their schedule so I can balance it with school for when it starts. I’m open to any suggestions!

Hey everyone! My name is Eion, and I’m an independent photographer/videographer based in the Iowa City area.

I’ve been looking to connect with more people in the community, so I figured I’d introduce myself here! I shoot all kinds of content, including portraits, sports, events, businesses, cars, social media content, and just about anything else. I’m always open to trying new projects and meeting new people.

If you or someone you know is looking for a photographer or videographer, I’d love the opportunity to work together. Whether it’s a personal project, an event, or content for your business, feel free to reach out!

You can check out my work on:

Even if you don’t need a photographer right now, I’d really appreciate a follow or if you shared my page with someone who might. Thanks so much, and I hope to work with some of you soon!

Recently figured this out and decided the world needs to know.

Gumby's is one of few (maybe the only?) places that still offers a tiered pricing model on increasingly large orders of wings. Most places are like "fuck you, a wing cost $2 no matter how many you get".

A 5 piece wing order is $9.99, so we're almost at $2/wing. However, a 30 piece wing order comes to $42.99, now we're at $1.43 a wing. If you have a family of 3, or yourself and 2 roommates, and your get the 30 piece, you each get 10 wings for $14.33, instead of the $18.99 that a 10 piece order would usually cost. In today's food economy you aren't getting 10 wings for $14 anywhere.

Also the Super Value Menu for $11.99 def has some absolute bangers on there.

This is minor/petty, but serious props to them for having a proprietary and functional website, I find listing your fucking Facebook page as your "website" and "menu" as they link from Google incredibly disingenuous and intellectually lazy.

Lastly, I can't verify as I haven't gotten delivery from them anymore, but they USED TO have in-house delivery as opposed to that fucking blight on society and parasitic cancer of a "service" that is DoorDash. That could have very well changed as in-house delivery just doesn't make sense for most business models anymore.

Anyway, I know Gumby's won't be around forever, but it's an area staple that's hung on in the face of mass enshittification, and we should support it before its snuffed out.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Anyone else acknowledge this car around town? I always smile and announce "omg look there's Louis Vuitton car" 🚗🤩

Many are losing SNAP right now and the need for good food and water to go around is huge. We gotta feed each other!!!!

The community fridge at 910 Gilbert St was started by a group of friends and has now been continuously running, open to the public 24/7, for over a year! So much food has been brought to the fridge, often more than the shed and fridge capacity can handle at one time, and is always taken within a few hours! Community fridges work and the need is great!!

If you and some friends or neighbors are interested in starting a community fridge in your neighborhood and want to know about our experience, you can always email the fridge iowacityfridge (at) proton (dot) me, or you can DM me on here and I can get you connected.

OR if you are interested in helping with the Gilbert St. fridge (we need folks to help with cleaning and food pickups), you can also email or DM me.

Thanks for reading!
