Our lab is located on the north end of Carson City, the capital of Nevada. We are Carson City’s favorite and only film lab locally owned and operated by photographers for photographers. We opened our doors to better serve the growing analog photography industry that very nearly died out. We believe film photography should be available and accessible to everyone no matter if you're a seasoned pro or just getting started.
