Our studio is located in the Phoenix Photo District, specifically in the building that Robert Markow built as Colormark. Colormark was a huge photo processing lab! Last month Paul Markow and I were discussing the old layout of our building and a few days later he brought over the blueprints!
Today Scott H. & Scotty M. and I looked them over and discussed what was in the back area (now studio #2) – It was what looked like (to me) a huge Enlarger on a rail system.
The picture to the right is the front of that enlarger. (If I am incorrect please feel free to comment and tell me more about the gear!)
We hope to one day label the floors and show where all the darkrooms used to be, plus maybe frame the blueprints of the original building.
The history of this block is so amazing!
