Where should I get my Images Printed, What Photo Lab should I Use?

In the 101 photo basics group, a frequently asked question is: Where should I get my images printed, or what are the best lab to use for printing pictures? We frequently respond with the same answers and it occurred to me, that a lot of the places we choose are specifically for businesses, not consumers and hobbyists. So let me go ahead and give you a list of labs that either I do use or have used and/or have heard good things about for both professionals and for the hobbyists!

What is Photography? 

According to google, the answer is simple: "The art or practice of taking and processing photographs."

Just scanning the results in the google, you will find a plethora of versions of the same phrase above. Simple and stating the same thing. For me, though, it is more than that. 

For me, photography is a journey, an experience and a new way to see the world. It is a way of life and how one can explain things when words just aren't working. It opens up the realm of possibility and allows you to create from your heart as well as imagination. If you can dream it-you certainly can do it, you just have to be willing to learn the way to get the result.

Being Inspired

Inspiration is everywhere-tapping into it just takes some getting used to. If you don't carry a sketch pad around with you-use your phones voice record mode to capture your thoughts out loud or write what you are thinking down in the note function or a place like evernote where you can sync everything from one device to another. Even when your initial idea turns out to suck-there is a picture of how bad it sucks waiting to be created.
