There are plenty of skeptics in the world of photography who would say film is dead. To some, it may be a thing of the past. Many would swear by the ease of use with their digital SLR cameras. Then there is the iPhone user, who takes pictures of their friend while walking backwards…hoping to catch every step they take down a crowded sidewalk. For those of you who still search for film sources (I include myself in this group) and prefer to shoot analog, stop into Central Camera, 230 S. Wabash in Chicago, IL. For a moment, you may think you have stepped back into the early 70’s. Old camera bodies, cases and accessories fill the front window displays. Beyond the doors, you are greeted by more camera bodies (all film) and a sea of lenses. No digital cameras in sight. The well seasoned staff behind the counters are knowledgeable and helpful – some have even been there since the 70’s. If you are traveling to Chicago and need film, stop by and stock up while you are in town. If you can’t make to Central Camera, they have a website worth checking out. They close at 5:30 pm Monday through Friday and at 5:00 pm on Saturdays.
