Since 1970, Photolab has been working with photographers and other artists to
print and to showcase photography. As a company, we started out as a
primarily black and white custom photo lab. Today, our traditional
darkroom is booming as photographers use us for fine art exhibit
printing. Our skilled techs have years of fine art experience that keeps
the magic of silver photography alive and well!!
In 1993 we added fine art
digital imaging services. In 2006 we have just added more new digital
color
 equipment.
Now we offer digital photos from film or from files
on true photographic paper in sizes from wallet prints to 40" x 60" and
larger too! We print fine art Giclee prints on fine art water color
papers: Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, Hahnemuhle Satin, Epson Ultrasmooth Fine
Art and Breathing Color Elegance. We update our paper list frequently so
if you don't see what you like, please ask.
You can find us
in California's San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to walk-in
customers, we also welcome clients from all of the United States, Canada
and beyond, via
mail-order or
digital file upload.

Street Photography 1988-2008
March 29 to May 17, 2008
Artist's reception Saturday April 26th
5 - 7pm in the Photolab Gallery
Q. How do you define street
photography?
Genres in the arts are always problematic and clumsy. Street
photography looks like it documents but it’s not “documentary”
photography”. There may be portraits, but it’s not about
portraiture. It may have narrative embedded in it, or it may involve
urban or rural landscapes, but it can’t be distilled to those
categories either.

MLK Mural Photographs
Photographer Camilo José Vergara
A Chilean born, NYC documentary photographer who has been
photographing the urban landscape for over 30 years, Vergara is known for
his technique of returning repeatedly to the same location to
photograph the changes over time.
Martin Luther King Jr.1929 1968

JOSE VERGARA
The photographer describes his
series:
"Since 1977, I have been documenting images of
Dr.
King that regularly appear along the commercial
streets and alleys of such cities as New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Camden, N.J., and
Baltimore. Many of the murals portraying this civil
rights leader are painted on the outside walls of
liquor stores, auto-repair shops, fast food
restaurants, mom and pop stores, and public housing
projects. The majority are the work of sign painters
and amateur artists. All of the statues and many of
the murals I photographed are located on streets
named after him."
