Ihate to leave a review like this, but my experience was honestly uncomfortable because of Marty…read more After I made a purchase, I walked toward the front to quickly look at an item near the door, and she immediately came over and stood there watching me very closely like I was doing something wrong. It felt very targeted and unnecessary, especially considering I had literally just paid. What made it worse was that as soon as I walked away, she walked away too, which made it obvious her behavior was directed specifically at me. It came across as profiling and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. No customer should feel watched or singled out after making a purchase. That kind of behavior completely ruins the shopping experience. On a positive note, Lori was absolutely fabulous--friendly, professional, and welcoming. She was the only reason the visit wasn't a complete negative. Unfortunately, because of Marty's behavior, I'd seriously think twice before coming back.

Heck Ya... this shop is a hidden gem in Monterey for high-rez printed photos. WOW!! Price is very…read moregood for quality & ordering is a cinch because it's done online using intuitive AI through the website. We can pay online or pay in the store. Once one enters the store, it's a camera-person's fun zone (I guess). I didn't understand any of the products, except the frames. Doesn't matter, really, because the staff is incredibly helpful to everyone who enters the store. Location is convenient at Del Monte Mall in Monterey with nearby parking. Store is generally open during mall hours. Whether you're looking for a gift or something for yourself, or just need some printed photos, Green's Camera World is the best option in Monterey County. Oh, did I mention that Cassandra is a superstar!! Her customer service skills are very professional and she went out of her way to make sure that my experience was the best.

I walked into Copy King and saw a little something about "Opening Night" at Y.A.C. and since it was…read morea few doors down I walked in and was just blown away. I had no idea that there were so many talented you local youth (14-22) that are so creative and talented. I am still speechless from what I saw tonight at their Art Show. I'm not an artsy (pardon my lack for a better word) fartsy person, nor a collector but I do appreciate art for whatever it is to me and to the artist. I asked a young man by the door who were all the artists... are they local? I stood their gazing at the wall next to him and he said, "I did this" I honestly almost laughed and was in disbelief. Marcos Hidalgo's work blew me away so much that I posted some pics of his work and others on FB by the time I reached my car. By the time I started the engine there were a couple posts asking about the artwork from some friends. All these young folk have MAD TALENT! I noticed a lot of younger folk that I know locally and was so surprised and grateful that they have a nice outlet for their creativity. Youth Arts Collective is a non-profit organization and I look forward to donating money to them once the time is right (when I have money to donate). Honestly, if you or your child has the knack for art or just interested, I'd look into them. Tonight was their 11th Birthday Celebration but also their Opening Night from 5 to 9. Tomorrow (1/29/11) they have an Art Show from 1 to 4pm. I highly suggest you stop in and see what the buzz is about. The place was packed with great energy, a nice vibe and a lot of excitement. People of all ages enjoyed all the different styles of art and I'm a huge fan of all of them. (Photos from tonight's Art Show "Art & Cake" Celebrating 11 Years)

It's on July 28 and by the time you read this it'll be too late. But do drop in ... They are open til 7 pm so when you're in the area, don't forget to stop in and have a look. Next to the parking garage on Calle Principal. I'm not affiliated with them, so don't worry Yelp. Just a community member who likes to support youth and the arts. I like my Ali portrait and am going to gift it but only to someone who would appreciate it.

There were, of course, photos that appealed to me and other that did not. All the images, even those that I did not like, were well done and deserved to be in the show. The reception was well attended, the food was good, and the $5 for a glass wine was a fundraiser. If you are interested in starting a collection of photographic art this just might be the ideal gallery for you to visit. The work is well priced and it's every bit as good as what you will find in the other, more expensive, galleries in town. If you are a photographer or painter you might be inspired.

Being an avid motorcycle rider, it was interesting to learn he often paints himself in art-pieces on a motorcycle. If you visit the gallery; take time to speak with the director. Ask her anything about Mr. Kinkade. You will walk away knowing Mr. Kinkade a little better. More importantly, you will realize he was a great guy. The Kinkade company is lucky to have Ms. Cox (the director) representing his work.
