  • Back in the Day - Remember Your Local Camera Store

    Today's post on Shorpy's has a photo of Archer Camera in 1946



    Any of the stuff on the shelves look familiar to you?

    Back in 68 I use to hang out and buy film from our local camera store in Pacifica, CA.

    They were always helpful, one day they offered me a used enlarger and helped me get started in developing my first film.

    I stil have my first developed prints.

    Great memories.

    I have my grandfathers Argus he bought after the war. I honestly don’t know how to operate it. Perhaps I should try?

    Shameless plug for https://www.actioncamera.com/ here in town.
    You'll get your chance, smart guy!

      I have been meaning to go by and check them out.

      Good to see a new camera store open up.
