There is a little shop that does them just west across the intersection on 4th (4th Ave and 1st St. SE.)

This was going to be my suggestion as well. If you drop off your forms in person they will tell you right there if the photos are rejected. Theyll still take your application then you go get your photos redone and drop them off beside the main lineups so you dont wait as long.

The second- don't you have to take your pictures and get them signed by your guarantor? Not sure how well that would work out- I know I won't be asking my guarantor to come stand in line at the passport office with me.
Now; if somebody works in that part of downtown; that might be good suggestion. But not for the reason you gave.
Looking at getbak's suggestion of London Drugs- they have a passport photo guarantee. They will re-do it for free if the pictures get rejected. I like that.

Blacks will redo your photos if they get rejected and will give you a full refund as well so it turns out being free. Only problem is that Blacks charges almost $20 where as some smaller places might charge $5-$10.
Also, if you do the simplified application process now where you meet certain criteria and still have a valid passport then you dont need a guarantor to sign your photos or your application.
