What customers say
Wanted to express my immense support of the two who run this operation. I don’t think a lot of people realize how minute film photography has become, and not only is a privilege to have a two/three day photo shop in KC, but also the affordability of it considering the recent uptake in film prices due to its popularity.
I have been using Steve for over a year and I am always impressed with his work. As mentioned by others he does work for the National Archive and it shows in his work.
True professionals. This shop handles printing for the National Archives, but still has time to print my snapshots and help me take better pictures. Such fast, friendly, excellent service that I'm mailing them my film even after I've left KC.
Great place for photo development! The owner has a lot of knowledge about film and development and has done work for the National Archive. Only drawbacks are the extended time for black and white development (expect at least a week before getting it back) and they only take cash.
