All,

I've taken some good photos of the buildings and architecture in
downtown Minneapolis on 35mm Ilford Pan F Plus ISO 50 Black & White
Film. I've processed the film myself, but now need to make some large
prints, which I am not equipped enough to do.

I want to print 12"x18" prints of some of the shots to matte and frame
for my walls.

I obviously don't want to bring the negatives to my neighborhood
Walmart to have them printed, but I don't know what other places are
good. Nearby professional photo places are Ritz Cameras, ProEx, and
National Camera Exchange. I'd also be okay mailing the negatives to a
printer in another area.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Konr Ness

Those companies can hardly be called "professional." Look in your local "Yellow Pages" ...
I'm sure that you'll find something. Otherwise, a web search using the search string

B&W photo lab

came up with over 10,000 "hits."

Narrowing it down further (since you *appear* to be in the Minneapolis area) by using the
search string

B&W photo lab NM

gave over 600 "hits" ... including

(see the section "PHOTOGRAPHY and DIGITAL LABORATORIES" about half-way down the page)

http://www.photo.net/neighbor/one-subcategory?id=5&by_date_p=t

And a local B&W lab ...

Another local lab

And so forth.

Your "friendly local search engine" really *is* your friend.
