It Came From The Porch : Locations : Haunts

SAVAGE PHOTO LAB AND GALLERY Custom photo lab supplying black and white and E6 processing. Strong emphasis on artistic photography, with a small gallery in the front room. You're very likely to find a Holga or a pinhole camera around, and lots of examples of alternative photo techniques. Stephen Savage has a talent for hiring attractive young women. Amy is the lab manager. Located on Old Shell just to the east of Florida. Currently, a show from the Savannah College of Art & Design is hanging at the gallery. I don't know how much longer this show will be up, but I highly recommend you get over there and check it out. It has some amazing work from the students and faculty at SCAD.

Catt's always around somewhere Stephen demonstrates a Holga ...and Amy hangs the laundry.

GORAUM & ASSOCIATES/BIENVILLE PHOTOGRAPHY What can I say about these guys? They been good to me. Steve's the finest shooter in town, educated at Brooks. Malcolm and John handle the Bienville side of things, and Regan sits up front and looks cute... ok, ok I think she actually does some work too. Steve has consistently helped me out when I was in need, and put up with me when I was slow. Malcolm used to be the sales manager when I worked at Calagaz Photo. I still do freelance work for him, a little layout, a little digital work. I occasionally help Steve with photography stuff. They have a killer darkroom, color as well as black and white... and Steve's got just about every toy I could want. And I do. You don't mind if I borrow this 8x10 view camera, do ya Steve?

That's the trusty CRV to the left Malcolm and John Amazing - the studio's actually kinda clean.

THE DIGITAL GARAGE Tucked away in a small industrial park, behind an exterminator's, is the best pre-press and digital video house in the area. Mark Erwin runs a tight ship. I should know, I worked for the man. These guys gave me my start in real-world prepress, back when they were Moore Digital. Since then, Mark's taken over from Ric and moved the operation to Mobile, and I've moved on to web design and multimedia work. Todd Hall and his digital video company, DigiBoy, share the building. Chris Thomas does the scanning and 3D graphics and animation, and Darrell and Chad stand around and look menacing... ok, just kidding, Darrell does prepress and Chad makes the matchprints and colorkeys.

Don't look like much from the outside, does it? Darrell grins like the insane white boy he is.
