I have a question! SO -- I am quite familiar with bw photography, but quite UNfamiliar with color photography (besides candids, just fooling around, etc.) ... and I was just wondering, for all you who do color, do you usually have your film printed in a reliable camera shop, or do you develop them yourself in a color lab? I don't have easy access

At an amateur level you can have a lab develop the film for you. You just need to find a good consistent lab. If you are looking to experiment with color development or do things that some labs will not touch without a significant price tag attached (some places will over charge or not even consider cross processing) then I would recommend developing color film yourself and just using a lab to print your color scans of the negatives. I say this because developing color film is really as easy as developing black and white film. It is just a lot less forgiving on temperature variance and takes about 5 minutes longer.
