So in today's climate, there's not that many black & white labs available for photographers to rent. One of the few still around and kicking (RIP Emulsion in North Hollywood) is TransLight Color in the Brewery complex just north of Downtown LA.
Just got an email from Christine, the manager :
=-=--=--=-=-=--=
I'm writing with good news! We have a new name and a new owner: Translight Colors has changed its name to Translight Photography Center (TPC). The new owner is Michael Gotz, an emerging photographer who feels a strong need to keep a public darkroom available in Los Angeles for B/W and Color printing. You may have printed alongside Michael over the past couple of years. As a customer turned owner he is well aware of how the operation works and where improvement is possible. Some ideas we have to expand TPC include; digital scanning services, B/W film processing, photography workshops, extended hours, private B/W darkroom, and gallery shows.
As you may be aware, there is gallery space fronting the darkrooms. In conjunction with Gallery 618E, TPC intends to produce Group Photo Shows
where customers and staff can exhibit their work.
But all of this depends on you. We would be most grateful if you could reply to this email or create a new one with your suggestions for how we can make Translight Photography Center serve you better. Or you can participate in a quick online survey. Click on the link.

We are excited to get things moving forward in 2009 and want to work together with all of you in a cooperative effort. We would be grateful for your continued patronage and for your referral of customers to our business.
So let's keep having fun!
Sincerely,
Christine Caldwell
Manager-TPC
