What customers say
Great little Shop! Super friendly staff. Needed a CF Express Type B memory card during my California road trip. The Photo Shop got me covered. (Even 35mm film stocks are available in the store!) Greetings from Dresden / Germany
Peggy is wonderful, She treated this old film I found my ny grandmother's camera (which hadn't seen the light of day in 50 years) with immense respect. Shes very knowledgeable about anything you may have questions about and is an all around joy to talk to.
Needing just a few digital prints made finding an actual "photo" shop was important to me for quality. The owner Peggy was super friendly. Trevor actually took the time to enhance and correct some color issues for me. I was able to get the prints within moments. I'll be back!
Miss this little shop, one of my favorite places in SLO when I lived there. Owner and staff are so helpful (even with my dumb questions). Over the years, I have bought film, had rolls developed, and had prints made and always had a great experience.
