Is there anywhere I can go to get a picture scanned? I only need one, and I don’t have a scanner, and neither do any of my friends. I was thinking maybe a place like Kinko’s? Help!

Kinko’s here in Houston will do that; also you might check the Yellow Pages for Desktop Publishing Services or Reprographics companies.
