What I'm thinking of above isn't going to stop me from doing just that. But I'd like to have something to strive for and looking at images on my computer screen is not the same as looking at prints.

Not sure that those places make
optical prints--I think they scan the negs and then make digi prints-- and neither(in my area) make BW silver prints.

I have seen truly good prints at museums and exhibitions and they look nothing like any other versions of them selves. I mean, seeing a photo in a book or magazine or on-line is not the same as seeing that same photo as an actual print. Much the same as seeing a painting in person is different--and, in my opinion, better than seeing a reproduction.
