Where can you process your film?

Check out my latest photo entry from Downtown Fullerton

Unfortunately since the overabundance of digital photography the majority of shops have dropped developing film except for color negatives. You can't even drop off your black and whites off at Walmart or Walgreens anymore which is kinda stupid since black and white film is more abundant and shot more than color film.

I Still Shoot Film posted a detailed list of shops that process film in the US. These places will develop:

Standard Black and White
C41 aka Color Negative
E6 aka Transparency aka Color Positive aka Slide Film.


I would think they have options for scanning and throwing em on a CD or just develop the negatives and not print them.

You can check out the list of film labs Here.

Also, you can check out my photos over at Smugmug

Part 2 from Fullerton tomorrow and my next set on Thursday.

Huh~ I had no idea that developing B&W film was so tough these days.

.....I almost asked, "Why don't you try a digital printer? You can print anything you want off in your own home!"

D'uhhhhhhhh. lol.

I can develop my own black and white film because I know where to get the chemicals and can do it myself, but more casual photographers probably don't want to mess with the chemicals. I think developing the film is one of the most fun parts of b&w film.

I'm planning on getting a digital printer soon, the most inexpensive photo printer is 300 bucks though. I'm more of a fan of darkroom printing so for that I have to wait until the fall.
Sounds like a bad side effect of the digital age. Film developers and Newspapers are among the collateral damage of the digital/internet age.

Oh for sure, I might have actually cringed when I pushed the buy now button when I bought my digital camera. I am most definitely a product of the analog age and hate seeing all of it bite the dust.
