Picture This- taking a look at cameras
Have you ever wondered if there was a more eco-friendly way to take pictures? Well, lucky for you we explore this topic and shed some light on what goes on in the darkroom.
- Go to Silvergrain for eco-friendly photo developing chemicals.
- Are you reluctant about getting a new digital camera due to a lack of personal funds? Check out Casio's Trade In, Trade Up program to save a few bucks.
- Need to recycle those single use batteries? Call 2 Recycle will help you keep them out of the landfill (which, by the way, it is illegal to dump batteries in the trash in many states such as California).
