All, Any suggestions where I can go for really high quality photo print jobs? ... Think large size and a decent paper collection. Ideally local to Houston so I can stop by and discuss the process. I need to print out several architecture photos for a show. Thanks! Hoef

I know this probably asked a lot, but that makes this more necessary, plus I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I am looking for a spot to get a shot of the Houston skyline, but from the east, one that captures St. Joseph's in the shot. I want one where it's safe to shoot, or at least somewhat safe, where I don't have to worry too much about having a decent camera. I know everyone says to shoot from the opposite side, like where Eleanor Tinsley park is, but I personally want one with a shot of the hospital in it. Also, maybe one that doesn't have too much rundown scenery around it. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Hosting at Texas Gallery.
