WHERE TO PRINT
 Sure, 24-hour photo developing is as common in drug stores as Advil and cough syrup, but the quality may not be the best.
Michele Barnett, a 41-year-old Fort Collins photographer, recommends professional labs for printing.
“Generally speaking, places that burn through a lot of work in a short amount of time won’t give the same care to the equipment.”
Lisa Wilson, 41, of Fort Collins said you probably won’t get the best quality printing your own photos without spending a lot of money. Wilson has been a professional photographer for four years and has been taking pictures as long as she can remember.
If driving to a photo lab is too time consuming, many services are available online. All you have to do is upload your photos, fill out a form and you are ready to go.
At www.snapfish.com, prints cost 12 cents. The nice thing is you can order as many as you want, whereas with film you have to shoot the whole role before you can have them printed. The site also offers a variety of personalized gifts and projects.
“You can design your own cards,” Barnett said. “For that reason alone it’s worth looking into those services for the cool factor.”

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
