Wow! Great Web site. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could find a retail photo service on Jersey Island, Great Britain? I have an elderly friend on Jersey who doesn’t use computers. I’d like to email images to a photo/printing service that would sell her prints. Thank you for your attention. Campbell Wood
