Setup of the Century

That's right! The Century Camera is close to ready for FOO FEST!! With less than two weeks left until the big day, we've been working hard on the retrofitting of our 100 year old camera with a polariod style film back to take INSTANT PORTRAITS during our day-long block party!
The Eastman Kodak Century Camera was build in the early 1900's and was the grand standard of studio portrait cameras back in the day. We were given this massive beast of a machine last year, and with the help of our team of photophiles and top shelf professional assistance from master retrofitter Paul Clancy, we're this close to having picture perfect prints for you to take home as your very own Foo Fest documentary souvenier!

We've got one more week to get this down to a science, but, as you can see from our test prints, we're pretty damn close!! Now put yourself in that frame, at Foo Fest, and you've got one hell of a sweet addition to the family photo album. Bring the kids, bring your pets, bring some props, or just bring yourself! This is no average portrait studio. It's cheaper, it's way more fun, and you'll be traversing 100 years of photo history in a single frame! Plus, you'll get to meet our dedicated and absolutely awesome darkroom members and learn more about how you can get involved with the Paul Krot Community Darkroom and play with beautiful old cameras like this:
