You know, I just realized that I haven't written much about PIX itself. I think out of the last 500 posts, I mention them less than 5 times... kinda weird as this is the PIX blog and yet not much of PIX. In any case, the July 4th weekend is upon us again and so just a quick note that we will be closed for ONE day. Here's the hours :
7/3 Friday 6 am - 6 pm (we usually close at 10 pm)
7/4 Sat CLOSED
7/5 Sun 9 am - 5 pm (we usually do 8 am - 8 pm)
Then we are back to our regular schedule but hold on, starting next weekend (the weekend after July 4th weekend), we will have new hours. Instead of the usual Sat/Sun 8 am to 8 pm, it will be Sat/Sun 8 am to 6 pm. Sort of sad in a way as I remember PIX back in the day when we were open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Yup, and I'll say it again, if you buy Sam, our night manager a drink, he'll tell you all the adventures he has manning the night shift !
For those of y'all not here in Los Angeles, just to let you know, PIX is a photographic sales/rental facility. If y'all know about us, skip the rest of this paragraph but for the others, a quick history. PIX started in 1990 in pretty much the same location - except it was one door down. PIX tried out two different locations - I believe both to be on Melrose but returning back home. About 10 years ago, PIX took over the building next to it which used to be a car repair shop. It was stripped and remade to house the new PIX.
If you check our MySpace page, you'll see polaroid taken during reconstruction.
We rent the range of strobes - Dyna, Profotos, Speedos, and we now carry Broncolor. We have digital bodies for Canon/Nikon as well as Leaf/PhaseOne digital backs as well as traditional 35mm, medium formats (Hassys, Maimyas, Fuji 680s) and large formats (4x5). Lens, cases, c-stands, cross-bars, octabanks, generators, apple boxes, as well as expandables such as gaffer tape, Superior seamless, 4x8 white/black foamcore and so on.
PIX also offers a delivery service so you can instead of sending your assistant or yourself to pick up the gear, we can have it sent to you. The cost starts at $5 for WeHo, Hollywood and Beverly Hills, $10 for Culver City, Downtown, Santa Monica/Venice and $20 for Valley, South Bay, Long Beach. There's some restrictions but you can read the fine print here
Hmmm...I think that's about it. If you have questions, call them up at 323-936-8488 or if you are outside CA, just call 1-866-697-0081. For emails, you can email sales@pixcamera.com or rental@pixcamera.com
