[QUOTE]Can anyone suggest a place where I can go to get a photo painted in black and white & framed (in HOng kong)? Am looking for something not too expensive - ie like a street where you can see painters/artists who do portraits....thks!/QUOTE]

actually a HK company called Portrait Xpress (not sure of the web address, I think its dot com, but you can google it anyway) do this...
my friend ordered from them by the phone, they recommended them...
they sent them a photo by email and their artist painted it, was very cheap and good, Ive seen it.
Im sure you could ask them to do it in black and white if thats what you wanted
