In the past year, I’ve acquired two priceless artifacts: an Olympus Stylus Epic from my grandparents and my mother’s Minolta Maxxum Qtsi. These 35mm cameras mark my investment in capturing visual stories through film photography.
Each week, I make a visit to Sharp Photo and Portrait (3306 Mall Drive, Eau Claire), where the staff I’ve befriended welcome my rolls of film to scan. Visits to the shop have become more than just a routine – they have turned into moments of connection, revisiting memories with friends and family.
The company was founded in 1986 by Bill Eklund, the current owner of Sharp Photo and Portrait. The business began as a one-hour photo lab, developing and printing C-41 color print films.
