Blue Moon…specifically searched it out once when we popped down from Vancouver
(the northern one) for a weekend. What a find. When I went in there were a
number of folks chatting, customers and staff was my take. Hard to tell who
was who though as a number of them pointed me in various directions and urged
me to look around.
I don’t remember what I bought - some little thing caught my eye, but it was an
experience from a past era. It’s a pity I can’t get there more often - my kind
of place.
Back in the late ‘70s or early ‘80s I stumbled upon a photo store in downtown
Seattle with an ambiance that was similar. It was packed to bursting with
photo equipment both new and old. The stuff was literally piled upon every
flat surface. The next time I went to find it, the place was a construction
site. I don’t remember the name, but I remember the experience.
I used to get the Calumet catalogues, way back, and often used them as
references. They had a great discussion of view camera lens types amongst other
topics.============================================================================================================To
