Putting a portfolio together via the wonder of web-based print services

I'm slowly putting together a portfolio for Wednesday's interview. The guidelines recommend some images form a project/series, and I was struggling with this until Lynsey reminded me of my A-Level coursework. It was all hand-printed in a darkroom, and I think its lack of binary content resulted in my forgetting it existed! My Dad dug the large boards out of a cupboard this afternoon, and upon inspection it'll do nicely¹. I've chosen 24 of my favourite digital images that look good on-screen and I think will look ok printed. I only need 10, but I don't want to risk choosing something that turns out to have less impact on paper. Unfortunately my printer is broken, and given the little time remaining I've ordered 10x8 enlargements of each. I'm wincing at the expense, but I want to have an impressive a portfolio as possible. I'll pick the best ten prints, and put the rest on my walls

I'm impressed with the speed of delivery: Snapfish.co.uk allow you to pick up prints from a local Jessops, and claim that an order placed at 2330 on a Sunday evening will be available to collect at 1000 on Monday morning. Pretty swish, if true. The Express service takes the cost of each print from £1.20 to £1.40, which isn't all that excessive.
