Washtenaw County Has Lost Its Last Camera Store with Closing of Huron Camera

January 12, 2014
The iPhone 6 Plus is being heralded as having “the best smartphone camera” ever. But it was the iPhone 4 that made headlines over three years ago as the “most popular camera on Flickr.” [1,2,3] Against that, “serious” photographers fear that this portends the demise of an art form.

From the Editor— I’ve been bothered by insistance that “the camera never lies” almost as long as I’ve been using cameras. [1] My first camera was a gently-used Argus Autronic I 35mm rangefinder film model fitted with a fixed-focal-length Cintar Compur 50mm f/2.8 lens, produced in the early- to mid-1960s. My dad got me started with it later that same decade. [2,3] It had (and still has) what was commonly referred to at the time ....
