Looks as if Warehouse Photographic, a staple stop for photographer in the old days, is on the way out. According to their web site, "after 35 years we've decided to call it quits".
My recollections of Warehouse were in my early days of photography about 20-22 years ago, when Warehouse Photographic was the place I would go to find something I couldn't find anywhere else. They had used enlargers, cold light heads, enlarger lenses and a wide array of consignment items along rows of their "warehouse" floors.They were also fairly competitve in camera name brand sales and a place to check prices. Ah, the old days, but lkie so many others gone, gone at last.
This is part of the trend I have documented on this site since its inception in 2005. Shrinkage will continue unabated for those who do not heed the digital change in the wind. Warehouse did redefine their business along the way becoming a locally popular lab, but when you can find superior prints online at vendors like MPIX and the labs work hand-in-hand with the digital revolution - the mom-and-pop handwriting is on the wall.
