Your "new" film camera might be pushing 40 years old. They're tough, and most still work well. Light leaks, though, can be a problem. Light seals are a simple DIY repair, but if you're not comfortable doing it, bring your camera in; if you need cleaning, CLA, or repair on your film gear let us take care of you!

CTA 3 ANNOUNCEMENT! The theme for the upcoming issue of Crown Town Analog will be slow speed film only! Now, we define slow film as anything 100 or lower, but from running a film lab for the last two years we know that a lot of tall don’t like shooting that slow. Maybe y’all are too afraid to shoot that slow? But being the generous men that we are, we’ve amended that to be 200 or slower. That’s it! The only requirements for the next issue is that the photo was shot on film and that film is 200 speed or lower. The subject matter, color v b&w, etc. are entirely up to y’all. We love slow film and hopefully this issue will help y’all fall in love with it too. Link to the submission form is in our bio!

You all know we're going to help grow and support the creative community, especially photographers. That's why we are hosting an info session on Culture Blocks next week, here at the store.

A quick peek at install day for our next show! "Here to hold your hand" from Charlotte vidrigra0her/photographer @nicoledfilms opens tomorrow night at 6pm @thephotooutfitters

We've got a nice batch of used Nikon F-mount goodies that were just consigned looking for a new home: Old school 60mm micro: Fits any F-mount film or digital DSLR. Screw drive AF WILL NOT work with FTZ for mirrorless Nikon. TC 14EIII: 1.4X converter for F mount. It's an AF-S lens which means it does work with the FTZ and compatible lenses (mostly tele exotics) 105 Micro: one of my all time favorite lenses. Crazy sharp & VR. AF-S means the FTZ works if you want to use it on a mirrorless body. D810 body: Classic 2nd generation DSLR that is still a great machine. Approx 65,000 clicks. 500f/5.6 PF: Everything you want in a Telephoto - lightweight, fast, sharp - without breaking the bank. Everything except the 60mm includes case, caps, hood, box and IB and is in like new condition. If you're interested or have questions - hit us up 👇or stop by. #usedcameras #recycle #value #newlifetooldthings

All good things must end... And the show closes next Wednesday. It's been a terrific creative experience and I'm both humbled and thankful for the visits you guys have made. Since we have another #cubaphotoadventure in the works for 2025 I've decided to sell the framed prints and use part of the proceeds to support our hosts next year. Fwiw we travel under the Support of the Cuban People license, which means spending our money with privately owned restaurants, drivers, guides, and lodging. Additional support comes from our gifts of simple things not easily or readily available in Cuba. Your purchase will help fund those gifts. Thanks again for your support of my work and The Photo Outfitters. Much ♥️ to all of the Outfitters family! T

NEW GALLERY TIME!!! Very excited to announce our next gallery show with Nicole Driscoll (@nicoledfilms ) on September 5th! Nicole is an incredibly talented photographer with a very interesting approach to the art form, so we’re bursting at the seams to see what she does with the space! We hope to see everyone there!

I'll admit it - after 40 years behind film & digital cameras of all flavors, I'm a better photographer today than I was a month ago. Didn't buy anything new, didn't find some magic YouTuber that showed me the light, didn't start shooting only RAW.. no investment other than time and intention. I recently completed 2 personal projects (pro tip - do one at a time. Simultaneous projects are no bueno) that forced focus and intentionality. They made me focus on not just the image but the 1000 words that go along with the image. Made me look at and feel the scene before I tripped the shutter. Made prints for display. Looked deep into a 5,000+ image archive to find a few dozen stories. It was harder than I imagined, but the rewards are great. Upgrading to the latest body or a new lens, or large format, or any other gear-centered move would not have paid the same dividends. Go try it. You won't be sorry. ✌️ T #photography #streetphotography #filmphotography #digitalphotography #mobilephotography #community storytelling #teachandlearn

It's #worldphotographyday! What are you going to shoot today? #digitalphotography #filmphotography #mobilephotography #instantphotography

We're baaaaack

You guys.... I'm truly humbled by the turnout for last night's opening. Friends, family, Outfitters fam...y'all are the best. Thank you for the love and support. I'm filled with gratitude ✌️ The show is on display through the end of the month T

Tonight's menu: We're featuring Music, History, and Culture We've also got: Cool Photos Great Stories Dope People Cuba: Through My Lens opens tonight at 6pm with artist statement and discussion starting at 7.

An update on the 1-1-1 project... 1 camera: Nikon F100 1 lens: Nikkor 24-85 VR 1 film: Queen City XX A really transformative experience. Limiting to 1 lens really made "seeing" the shot a more involved process. I was tuned into details and texture than normal. Experiment - I played more with shutter speeds and panning (streetcar) than I regularly do. The get out of your head exercise comes from not knowing what you're going to get. I saw things I wouldn't normally look for and shoot, like the carrots and the F*ck Your Tesla...and a reaI, working, pay phone in East Oakland. I found myself more in tune and connected to my surroundings. For me this film's strongest feature is versatility. It looks great at any ISO from 100 and up... It edits beautifully and it's easy to create different looks without fear of wrecking the underlying image. #shootfilm #filmaintdead #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #believeinfilm #queencityxx

OPENING NIGHT THIS THURSDAY 6PM Hope you can join us for our 7th Gallery Show this week. This time we're featuring our own - Tony will be showing work and telling stories about his photography adventures in Cuba. History - music - culture - photography Join us! Doors open at 6

TONY’S GALLERY!!! So pumped to finally announce that our next gallery show (Aug 15) will be Tony’s show!!!! Super excited because Tony has decided to show off a sample of his wealth of photos of Cuba (the people, the country, the culture) in order to nurture deeper conversations about our relationship with the country and the situation for the Cuban people. We hope to make a show that is more thought provoking and just as much about the experience as the photos. BE THERE!!!!

The goal of the 1camera/1lens/1film project was to re-learn how to see and connect with my subject. It's not about a quick grab shot but connecting to the subject by watching, listening, and engaging. Paying closer attention to composition, light, and shadow. It was inspired by the book "The Traveling Photographers Manifesto" by David Hobby. 10/10 recommended reading. Learned a few things in the process of shooting: Street photography with film is tough - you've got nothing to share with your subject. Next time we go with digital and a prime. Walking with no agenda is amazing Sitting on a bench and watching dogs play or listening to the wind blowing through the rigging on a sailboat. The secret snippets of conversation when people walk by. Graffiti. The smell of a farmer's market as they unpack and set up. I've got no idea how this film or project is going to turn out. Right now I'm stuck in the airport sitting through an interminable flight delay. But I'm excited to develop this stuff when I get home. All these shots: Pixel 7 + Snapseed The 1/1/1 project was shot with a Nikon F100, 24-85 lens and QCxx film. Images coming soon. #queencityxx #nikonf100 #1camera1lens1film #filmphotography #filmdeveloping #believeinfilm #shootfilm #blackandwhitephotography #filmaintdead

One of the things to love about this film is versatility. Playing with speed to see where my personal sweet spot is. Planning to shoot the next few at 64 or 100 and see how it looks. Today was pretty much a zero day but we'll make up for it. Pixel 7 + Snapseed #queencityxx #nikonf100 #1camera1lens1film #filmphotography #filmdeveloping #believeinfilm #shootfilm #blackandwhitephotography #filmaintdead

Hope y'all enjoy this sneak peek of my SF project

Time to work on a personal project and challenge 4 days. 1 camera. 1 lens. 1 film. F100 + Queen City XX

We've used media from @redriverpaper for years.... And when we opened The Photo Outfitters it was an absolute no-brainer RRP would be our ride-or-die paper of choice. As we print gallery shows and showcase portfolios for many in our #charlottephotography community your response tells us we're right. These papers can't be beat for variety, quality or longevity. The feel, weight and look is unmatched. There's more to life than glossy or matte - let us show you! #photoprint #showyourwork #printyourphotos

PENTAX 17 I’ve had this shockingly controversial camera for a few weeks now and I've been able to put a few rolls through it, so I figured I'd share my personal thoughts. It has its noticeable quirks, but overall I really like the camera. It is definitely not for everyone, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and look forward to using it more in the future. 🎞️ Kodak Pro Image 100 & Ilford PanF+

This seems a bit much 🤣

Stop by and check out our latest gallery show featuring photos and artwork from our friend @outside.ink On display in the Gallery @The Photo Outfitters

In a world of $20/roll film these 2 are hidden gems AND under $10/roll. There's more to life than Portra 400 (y'all know how we feel) #shootfilm #filmaintdead #filmphotography #filmdeveloping #queencityxx #proimage100 #printyourphotos #showyourwork

It’s time to announce our next gallery show!!! We’re incredibly excited to announce that our next show will be with our good friend Mia Guadagna (@mia.lasagna ).

BE THERE!!!

SUBMISSION DEADLINE!!!! Submissions for the second issue of Crown Town Analog (the travel issue) are due tonight by midnight! If you haven’t submitted yet, what’s wrong with you!?! Submission link is in our bio.

Your film has a serious allergy to Xrays. If you're flying this summer, throw one of these in your bag (we've got them for you free for the asking) and nicely ask the TSA staff for a Hand Check. Works wonders, except (apparently) in the UK. And when you hit the beach, remember that film hates heat even more than you do. Cracking a window won't help - keep it cool.

It's (almost) time for the next Ca$H for Cameras event! Time to clean out your closet, gear bag, trunk or attic and turn your unloved and unused equipment on to cash! Our friends from KEH will be here and writing checks on the spot for your gear. Come join us! July 12 - 13 10a-5p each day

Just in...Hands on review and images coming

JUNE 20 6-8 It’s new gallery show time!!! Couldn’t be happier to share that our next gallery show will be with our dear friend Camille Hughes!! Camille is an incredible photographer and the very first Friend of the Outfitters. Everyone needs to show up on Thursday because we cannot express how much she has given to the store. The Photo Outfitters might be a totally different store without her. So turn out and celebrate Camille with us!

We've got plans and need space, and so we're getting rid of the last of the seamless backdrop paper we have: Greens, red, and multiple yellows Neutrals like bone, beige and cocoa Black $60/roll 107" only No online orders - phone or in store only. No shipping unless you're desperate. DM for available colors and quantities

NEXT UP! Our buddies @kehcamera will be here soon and they want your old gear! If you're looking to unload old stuff, make some quick cash for a summer getaway,, or have some gear lying around you just don't use - now is the time to move it! July 12 & 13 10a-5p

It was a great night for a show! Thanks to everyone who came out to support and congratulations to @rollingwithwills on his first solo exhibition. If you missed it, the show is on display through 6/19 (when we'll be featuring another photographer in their first show) Mark it down - 1st and 3rd Thursday every month - and join us as we spotlight some of the best up-and-coming photographers in the QC!

We've got 'em We really don't want 'em

ZINE UPDATE!!! We are changing Crown Town Analog from bimonthly to once a quarter. This will give us more time with each issue to make sure the quality is where we want it to be. This also means that the Travel Issue submission deadline has changed from June 1st to July 1st, so there's still plenty of time to submit. Can't wait to show off y’all’s incredible work!

Fresh out of the can - - a new batch of #queencityxx just hit the shelf! #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #filmaintdead

Every now and then you've got to get out. Supporting Union County Hospice golf today

CTA #2 SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS JUNE 1ST!!! We’re now less than two weeks away from the submission deadline for the next issue of Crown Town Analog, so make sure you get your photos in if you want to be featured. Also, friendly reminder that everyone is allowed one submission per issue. JUST ONE. If you submit multiple, we will keep the first one and delete the rest. Submitting multiple photos gives Cannon a headache. Please don’t give Cannon a headache.

Tonight was the second installment of our photography solo show series. We were fans of @riah_lange before we met in real life. Their command of black and white imagery is truly beautiful to see. But if you only know Riah's black and white work, you're missing some great color stuff in the portfolio. If you didn't make Opening Night you've got two weeks to check out this beautiful show before the next one opens. A new gallery on display every 2 weeks1st & 3rd Thursday every month.

We hope you can join us Thursday for Opening Night. This week's solo show features the work of Charlotte photographer@riah_lange. 6-8pm The Gallery @ The Outfitters 4732 Monroe Rd Suite 130

A few favorites #cubaphotoworkshop2024 @cuban_adventures @shotbybliss @mia.lasagna.jpeg

A quick take on the value of mobile photography and travel Yes, we shoot heavy, RAW, backup daily to multiple platforms, and bring all the goodies when traveling. At least, most of us do. But there's real value in mobile that gets overlooked by a lot of folks. For social media and grab shots a decent cell phone will do the trick. They may never go on the wall, but they do capture a moment that might be missed fussing with the "real" camera. 1: Street art handheld 1/3 second f/1.9 ISO 8300 2: Boat handheld 1/2 second f/2 ISO 467 Google magic made the bobbing boat sharp 3: Map screenshot to add to the final portfolio Pixel 7 Ultra HDR

Come out and join us for our first blood drive!! Donating blood is easy but it can be so beneficial to people in need. We are happy to partner with @myoneblood to host a blood drive at our store this Saturday, May 11 from 12-5. Donor’s will receive some cool stuff from OneBlood, but we will be developing one free roll of film (color or b&w) for every person who donates! It doesn’t take much to have a massive impact on someone’s life, so we hope to see y’all there!

Salud y Suerte

So much to show and tell. We're back in Havana to say farewell to our new friends before heading back to the US tomorrow (American Airlines delays aside) Thankful beyond words to @cuban_adventures crew that made it happen: Janet, Yoanni (Tío Joe) and Yasmani (La machina). Much love to my compañeros @shotbybliss and @mia.lasagna.jpeg

Too many highlights but the food....

GALLERY ANNOUNCEMENT!! Our next gallery show will be on May 16th with @riah_lange.
