Best School You Didn’t Know You Needed
Las Vegas Camera Club
Bryan McCormick and Geoffrey Ellis can teach any aspiring shutterbug to work magic with an old Instamatic. Their Las Vegas Camera Club is several things—a shop where reconditioned Polaroids and Impossible Project film are sold, a presenting sponsor of documentary films—but above all, it’s a place where students can learn to do multiple exposures and emulsion lifts with instant film. The club reveals the art in what some mistakenly consider a mere hipster fad. 1017 S. First St.,Suite 185, LasVegasCameraClub.com.
