NFT Portland St. Johns

St. Johns
Although it's certainly a part of the greater Portland Metro area, St. Johns feels like its own small town. The main drag is full of quirky local shops and a few that have no rational reason to remain in business. Young Portlanders are realizing, however, that St. Johns isn't too far, and the enclave is growing.

Blue Moon Camera and Machine
In a digital world, Blue Moon is a bastion of analog sanity. Specializing in film cameras and manual typewriters, they proudly fly the flag for those who love all things mechanical, dependable and tangible. Remember the satisfying feel of a camera advancing film negative? Do you recall the comforting sound of a click-clacking typewriter? Visit here and you can bring home your very own lovingly restored examples of each. The staff are all knowledgeable artists and photographers themselves so you can trust them with your questions--and your beloved film negatives which they can print in their on-site dark room. Gazing at the gorgeous photographic prints and the rows of beautiful typewriters makes you wonder why we all settle for crappy cell phone cameras and smudgy laser printers.
