photocopying is face with his eyes open


is that possible or would he go blind ?

reply

Ugh...I got PTSD watching that part because I was actually dumb enough to do it back in middle school. Yes, it's possible but I cringe thinking of what it did to my retinas.

Also why was there a copy machine right in the middle of their entry lobby?

reply

That wasn't the "entry lobby." That was the space for the secretary of the company president (Howard Prescott). If I was her, I wouldn't want a copier next to my desk either. 35 years ago, copiers were big machines that made a lot of noise and generated a lot of heat. I'd want the copier against the far end of the room just like she had it.

there was a big thing about desktop laser printers doing stuff like that a few years back- pumping out heat and "bad stuff" , toner particulates presumably

reply

True, but that wasn't the problem with the copying machines.

Most important to produce a good 'head shot' with a copier is to cover your head with a white towel. Otherwise the background is too dark.
Best results!...and it didn't hurt my eyes, leastwise I didn't realize it. ☺
