Hi all!

A small group of us are starting up a Los Angeles Photo Critic Group. It's an opportunity to meet other LA photographers of all skill levels (I'm a beginner), to talk photography, LA, and life, and to get feedback, critic, tips for projects we may be currently working on. Would also warmly welcome other creatives who may be working on creative projects outside of photography.

Our first meeting made me so happy to meet such interesting and passionate people. Our next meeting is currently targeted for Sunday, February 16th, location is TBD.

If you'd be interested in joining this or any upcoming meet ups, fill out the form below to be added to an email group where we'll communicate out date/times/locations. We've also stood up a Discord for us to keep talking and share pics.

Also feel free to DM me if you have questions. Hope to see you!

EDIT/UPDATE: To all of you who have filled out the form, I'll be adding you to a Google Group so you'll be able to receive updates on our meet ups. Excited to get this together!

I just started shootings film and was wondering if anyone had a film shop/lab that they recommend. I went off the deep end and purchased about 8 film point and shoot, my MIL gave me a AE-1 and I just purchased a Pentax 17. I have about 6 rolls that I need developed.

I am looking for a lab that can develop, scan and also return the negatives. I’m also not sure if there is any special attention needed for the half frame development. I read on forums that some shops take two half frames and compensate for only one of the two instead of each half frame.

Any info would be appreciated.

Update: Located off 605 and 5 freeway in Pico Rivera.

I took the image over my shoulder and upside down because I was in a seat without a window😅
