We made a special trip to this gallery because a friend had a show there. We called ahead and spoke…read morewith a nice person (who we later determined was Michael). He verified that our friend's show was still going to be up (we were visiting on the show's final day). Well, do you like black and white photography? Then this is the gallery for you! It's clear as soon as you step in the door how dedicated LightBox is to excellence. It is quiet like a church and gives off a completely "serene" vibe. You feel like you can take all the time you want to look at each piece. No one is going to hurry you or disturb you. When Michael noticed how interested we were he gave us an impromptu viewing of some of the additionally exciting work in the flat file upstairs. Just a completely first-rate experience.

They advertise on the sign selling film, and when asked he only had one option which was 20+year…read moreexpired film and he only sold it in a package of 5. I asked him if he had photos proving it was good, which he dodged and closely explained it was amazing, then I asked again which he laughed and said no. I'm not going to buy 50$+ dollars worth of expired film with no proof it's good. Plus, when asked why he doesn't actually sell film he went on a rant why film has gone up and he refuses to sell it which I thought was odd as he advertises it and if sold he technically wouldn't be loosing money. I then asked where I could get it and he said no where and he doubted stores would have it on this part of the coast. I called Walgreens and Walmart nearby who both carried it, which I drove 7 mins down the road and picked up. It was 12$. It disappointed me I couldn't just pick up at the only camera store in Astoria. Weird hill to die on that he wouldn't carry something that's advertised ON HIS SIGN. Dude had hovering energy and followed me out the store ranting.

Jin at Photo Lab did a fantastic job on the pictures for my mom's milestone birthday party. Dropped…read morethe originals off on Friday morning and they were ready on Wednesday afternoon. 10 8x10 pictures were $109 which seemed like a lot to me, but I am not sure how much work went into restoration, sizing them up, etc. The quality of the pictures were really great! Store is in a corner space that can be easily missed. Parking is tight and the store was crowded with boxes. Don't judge a book by its cover- I would recommend this photo lab. ***Side note- We have also gotten our kids's passport pictures taken here as well. It was an easy and fast process.

I am a professional photographer and often need prints from film. In Portland, I tried both…read moreShutterbug and Pro Photo Supply labs, but the print quality left much to be desired. I stumbled upon a lab run by Mr. Jin. He is a very attentive person; from our conversation, I learned he has been in the business for 40 years--which really speaks volumes. After I handed him a test roll for processing and saw the prints, I realized this was exactly what I had been looking for. My order was ready by the next day, and the print quality was excellent. I am also very pleased that he processes 120mm film. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for high-quality prints of their photos.

A long time, Photographer, but I was still bouncing around, looking for the right feeling on which unit to pick. After spending a couple of days going to different shops, I found some good folks at another one of their locations. The next day, I was planning to return to one of those locations when I found this one downtown. Really liked the folks there and they put various models in my hands and we're able to speak intelligently about them and answer all my questions even though I have a high level of knowledge. Ended up buying a very high-end unit and spending a lot of money because I like the folks here. Good job
