I'd talk to her about potential appearance of such large sizes
to be sure the implications are understood. The intended placement
of and viewing distance of large prints is an important factor.
I have had 20x30's made that looked "pretty rough" up close, but
when hung on the wall of the bank 16feet from the teller's windows
(customers therefor limited to how close they could approach them)
all was just peachy.
In another situation a 20x30 had to be sharp enough that folks
could put their noses on the glass. Much more attention had to
be applied to creating that one "on purpose", rather than pick-
ing one out from previously accumulated shots.
In the first instance, Kodak Gold 1000 from 1989 film technology
sufficed, while I used Agfa APX25 in 120 format for that latter.
You might suggest a "series" - a few larger prints to be hung
high on the walls, safe from scrutinization coupled w/ smaller
ones placed in more accessible spots w/in the decor design plan.
