The F-Stop Camera Shop, 1224-B Huger Street: 16 July 2011 10 comments
When I was around 10, I semi-inherited a bunch of darkroom equipment, and drove the guys at Jackson Cameras to distraction with all my questions, and my mother to distraction with all the chemical stains (still there today) on her kitchen countertops. Given that, and the number of film cameras I have salted away in storage somewhere (including a Kodak 616 format box camera that worked the last time I tried it..), I always figured I would drop by film haven The F-Stop Camera Shop someday. I noted when it moved here from Five Points, and somehow still didn't get around to it.
Hard to believe I haven't been in a darkroom since 1976..
UPDATE 12 September 2012: Added two pictures of the place in operation that I forgot to copy over.
F-Stop Camera Shop, 936 Harden Street: August 2010 (Moved) 3 comments
F-Stop Camera Shop positions themselves as one of the last local photo stores. I'm afraid I haven't managed to visit yet, but from their site, it appears that they are following in the legacy of Jackson Camera with developing and printing supplies for the film photographer, and in fact go beyond that with rentable darkroom space.
They moved to 1224 B Huger Street (at Geddes Street) back in August. That leaves this stretch of Harden Street pretty well vacant, which is a shame, but the way it goes sometime..
(Hat tip to commenter ChiefDanGeorge)
UPDATE 8 February 2022 -- The State reports that 936 Harden is to become The Flying Biscuit Cafe.
Also adding map icon.
