I like Joe's, but I think their BW developing sucks. I shot my son's birth
on TX and had it developed by them as we were kind of busy (!). The negs
look as if they were developed N+2... highlights REALLY blocky. The kind of
'punchy' look that some press photogs like, but for quality prints you can
forget it.
Their BW printing, however, is very good.
