Hicor Technologies (formerly OsComp Systems) was one of the founding companies of Greentown Labs. I wanted to take a few moments to let you know about a major change in my business. I started Aker Photography in July of 1978 and it has gone through many changes over the years including becoming a partnership with Gary Zvonkovic in 1993. Gary and I decided recently to dissolve the partnership and form our own separate companies. I have formed a new company called Aker Imaging and Gary's new company will be Zvonkovic Photography. We will both continue to operate out of 4708/4710 Lillian Street. AZ Lab will also become Aker Imaging and will operate under my company. I will continue to provide the highest quality Architectural Photography and Fine Art Printing available. Visit the Aker Imaging Website The lab will continue to be the last of the true photo labs in Houston and the last to offer professional film processing. We also offer a full line of optical and digital printing and scanning options.

My 33 year policy of making sure that your needs are met no matter what it takes will continue. In other words, little will change except for the name of the firm. I am excited about this new venture and hope that you will continue to trust us with photographing your architectural projects. Please give me a call if you have any questions. For the present time both Gary and my emails will remain the same.
