You do realise that the Photo Competition is less than two weeks away? And the judging is on prints only?? And you haven’t thought about printing yet???

If you don’t have a printer at home there are plenty of options, but you need to think ahead. Snappy Snaps, Boots and other shops will do the job, and there are plenty of online options – I’ve used Snapfish with good results
