Only in Russia (2)

Last week I needed some pictures for my accreditation at Lighthouse. Apparently there was one of those 1-minute boots in a metro station nearby. I found the thing sure enough, but noticed an old lady sitting next to it. On the table in front of here lay some tickets for classical concerts, so I figured she must be selling them. I looked into the machine to check how much change I needed, but noticed a woman was paying the lady for this kid who had to have his pictures taken. The old lady helped the kid with the difficult and complicated task of setting the stool at the right height and pressing some buttons. Another typical example of me being a foreigner and not understanding Russia.
