website of the week... Calypso Imaging

One of the last of the great photographic color labs that used to dot the Bay Area, Calypso is still going strong. I like their work. You can drop film in the middle of the night and pick it up the next day.

For those dinosaurs amongst us who still love slides (the premier photographic medium for color) this lab is a god-send. You can push or pull your exposures, have gigantic and gorgeous prints made (also expensive!) and they have a bulk/wildlife photographer's discount if you are not in such a hurry to get your film back. I never worry about the developing, the consistency of the chemistry, or the quality of the work. True professionals.

The only thing I don't like about his lab is that since the quality is so high and consistent on their end, I know any bad shots I see are from my end so I can't blame it on anyone else!! HA!
