HUGE UPDATE PART II We want to express our deepest gratitude to those who have donated to our GoFundMe so far (link in the comments), and to those who have shared, commented, and liked our posts to help get the word out there. We are extremely excited to announce that because of your support, we were able to put the deposit down on our new warehouse space, which we'll be using to host shoots, workshops, gallery shows, and other events. The darkroom and lab will stay where it's always been, and with our community's continued support we'll be able to maintain both spaces and expand the scope of what we can offer. We are continuing fundraise for our new projects, so keep sending our page to everyone you know who might appreciate what we're trying to do here. We have lots of plans for the future coming into focus, so keep checking back for more updates on our progress!

Come help us clear out our inventory and help us raise money for our renovations! We're here today and tomorrow (Saturday/Sunday the 16th/17th) 12-6pm (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Analogue will have to be closed for yet another week. We want to apologize to all our loyal followers for the delay, we are working hard to fix these issues. HOWEVER we will be clearing out excess inventory at a cash-only liquidation sale this weekend to raise funds for our expansion and to keep us going through this rocky period. We'll be selling cameras, lenses, and all kinds of accessories at huge discounts to make room for new things, so stop by the shop 12-6pm. We will also have any film orders that have been dropped off in the past two weeks ready for pickup (Develop-only on Saturday, with scans on Sunday), but are only able to take cash payments while we get our new banking system set up. We also want to inform our customers that our website and default email are also offline after a botched corporate buyout/migration of our web hosting service, and our new provider is currently unable to get it back online. In the meantime, you can contact us at [email protected]. Thanks everyone for your patience and we'll see you all this weekend! (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

Last day to pick up film orders at 50% off before we close for construction! We're shutting down for the first two weeks of June to restructure, rebrand, and revitalize, and will be relaunching June 15 with a whole host of new announcements. We're here until 6pm today so come stock up on film for the break! (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

Attention all! We're making some (more) big changes around here and will be closed for the first two weeks of June to properly prepare. We're giving an unprecedented 50% off all orders picked up in person by 5/31, so if you have any film you want developed before mid-June, bring it to us by this Tuesday to have it ready Thursday. Stay tuned for more announcements about the future of Analogue! (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

it's the final hour to get your last minute gifts for those difficult artist-types on your list! even if they don't shoot film now but would like to start, we've got more than a few ideas to get them going: beginner cameras, disposables, pinhole photography kits, all of which can be paired with a gift card for a one-hour lesson to show them the ropes. on top of that we have decorative display cameras, ornaments, handmade quill-pen-and-ink sets, and the gorgeous 50s-era typewriter attn in the photo above. we're open until 4pm today (christmas eve), so swing by before your festivities to grab the last few things to finish your shopping, and maybe even something for yourself to help capture the occasion! we even have brown paper gift bags tied up with string so your package looks 'present'-able right out of the door 🎁🎁🎁 (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

the countdown continues! it's our last week to get holiday shopping in and we've got all kinds of tiny treats in store for the analogue lover in your life. from an assortment of 35mm and medium format films, to rare vintage accessories, to the little glass ornaments seen above, which were handmade in the shop from strips of 35mm film. we're here until 6 today so come by to see all of our seasonal specials! 💡💡💡 (at Analogue Arts + Trade)

have you heard about the comeback of the #polaroid? just before the holiday season, the iconic brand reunited with its torch-carrying offspring, the (now defunct) impossible project, to create @polaroidoriginals - a new version of the classic instant film, with increased stability and color rendering at a decreased cost. this new development (pun intended) has put polaroids back in the reach of the everyday photo-taker who is looking for the authenticity and tangibly of the physical print. we have several original polaroid cameras in the shop, and plenty of film to go with them to make the perfect easy gift for any lover of vintage style. (at Analogue Arts + Trade)
