That's before my time. The first time I went to Calumet they were in
a walk-up location near West 18th Street. Then they had their street
level store on West 19th Street before their recent move to West 22nd
Street.

I decided I wanted bigger a bigger format for contact prints. I
really like 5x7, but now I can't get the film I like for it. (Yes,
I've tried ordering through Keith Canham, and will try again.) I just
got a Bulldog 8x10 camera kit to see if I want to move up again. I
like building things, and it was cheaper than even the used 8x10
cameras I was looking at. If I do like it, the film is easier to get
in 8x10.
I've been using a Pentax DSLR to shoot my compulsory photographs.
I'll be busy with it this weekend at the family gatherings.
