Monday August 3rd Open House: Swix it!

Don't know what to do with that old 35mm you're not sure how to fix? Have one too many lenses in your equipment closet or photo junk pile? Bring it all to AS220 this Monday, 7pm at 115 Empire Street for a special Swap and Fix Open House! Join a crew of photo geeks and gear heads for some inside advice on how to use that weird looking camera you found in the garage or trade your once loved camera apparatus for some new-to-you inspiration.

And if you're looking for a real fixer upper, come and help us shine up the Eastman Kodak Century Camera, seen above in it's first public appearance in over 100 years! Bring wood polish, glass cleaner and WD40...while still in near perfect condition, this marvel of pre-modern technology is in need of some serious cosmetic TLC. We ran a roll of film through the camera, affectionately know as the Jumbotron last week, and you may be surprised by the results. Come see history in the re-making!

Darkroom Open Houses are held every first Monday of the month, and is a great opportunity to come see the facilities and get to know the people who use them. Each month we discuss a different topic or hold a special event, so there's always a reason to show up, and this month is no exception! One photographer's trash is another's treasure, so don't ditch that old flash and dig up that defunct Polaroid, cause we're gonna Swix it!
