Leaving film negatives unattended increases the chance that treasured vacation memories will be abducted and forced into labor as picture-frame stock photos. Avoid revisionist history with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of lab services at Kingwood Photo Lab.

Kingwood Photo Lab serves amateur and professional photographers alike with a full range of development, printing, and format-conversion services. Seasoned shutterbuggers can take advantage of speedy in-house development from film, digital, or woodcarving formats, and a Kodak kiosk creates glossy physical manifestations of digital photos in seconds. Meanwhile, a wide array of moment-preservation accessories, such as snapshot-hugging frames, albums, and nostalgic great-aunts for hire, can also enhance representational re-creation. Feel free to tap the skilled pixel-plying pros for photographic touchups, restoration, or digital enhancement. In addition, the lab's DVD conversion service can transfer most formats of film to immortalize adorable first steps and botched first city-council overthrows.

The lab's printing facilities also render images on canvas ($45.95 for an 11"x14" print), custom photo books (from $29.95), and more. Floor-to-ceiling windows admit ample sunlight and passing flashbulbs into the cheery shop, which has been in business for more than 25 years.
