The Portland Darkroom and Blue Moon Camera and Machine are working together to host our second Analog Print Swap. Come by Blue Moon Camera to celebrate the analog community, with the folks from PDR! We’ll be appreciating art, swapping prints, sharing our love for all things analog, and, of course, the usual shenanigans.
To participate in the print swap, bring a print made from a film photograph and walk away with a print made by another community member. 8×10 or smaller please. Non-analog printing methods are fine.
