Chris, it is indeed a sad time for the camera business.  In Atlanta we are
down to one very small used camera store that you can walk into.  In
Chicago I believe  Central Camera is the last store standing.  As ni e as
o.line communities are, they don't take the place of a physical store.

In full disclosure I retired from KEH which is located in Atlanta;  while
you can walk in there is no one to talk to and nothing displayed beyond
decorative items.

all the best

Back in July, Sunny Schick Camera Shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana closed forever
after 90 years in business. I made some photographs of the store as it
emptied out during their going out of business sale.

 It was a sad thing to document, as Sunny Schick was a center for the
photography community on Fort Wayne, and our city's last remaining camera
store.
