I love the concept of this place and was excited to come here after they moved from their Damen…read morelocation. I came in to get a disposable camera developed. Had I not been here before or knew the process of how it works though, I think I would have had a little difficulty. The person working wasn't too friendly or keen on explaining the form to me, so I took a few guesses and looked at the sign they had on the counter. She was more interested in talking to her coworker and not really paying attention to me so I just filled it out and went on my way. Not the best customer service experience. I felt too inconvenienced to ask about any of the other items they had in the store. My photos however turned out alright but seemed to turn out a lot more muted than my previous prints, This experience has me wondering if I should just do mail in through Darkroom next time.

It seems like all at once and out of nowhere I started receiving ads from a bunch of different film…read moredevelopment companies and those rolls sitting in the back of a drawer started screaming out to me to solve their mysteries. When I found that there was a shop right here in Chicago offering a first roll development and scan free I figured I would give the local option the first crack. So I signed up for the offer and placed some old rolls in a sandwich bag in my jacket pocket but then weeks passed by and it just kept slipping my mind. This was where Bellows first impressed me. I received direct messages from the shop saying that my offer would be expiring soon and asking if I'd like to extend the redemption date which was nice. I finally dropped in the day of that really bad snowstorm back in November and my first impression of the shop was positive. I liked the laidback and clean feel of the place. There is just about every type of contemporary film as well as some cameras and accessories available to buy and they had a good number of people at the counter for taking film development orders. There was also a tintype photographer doing a pop up event which is always cool to witness. I realized while I was there that my already amateurish photography knowledge was pretty rusty so I appreciated the staff going over things with me while I was filling out my development order form without being condescending. I also liked that they said that if the rolls came out blank or with no usable photos they would contact me about price adjusting. I went with the take your time option for development and scans for 3 rolls and the scans were ready for me in 3 days. The development came out about as well as they could with such expired film but nothing some color correction can't fix. They actually turned out a lot better than I expected they would and I am happy that I now have had some of the mysteries revealed. Bellows staff contacted me about picking up my negatives as I was traveling but a quick message and they assured me that they would hold onto the negatives for a little while longer. Although it's very much a shop for serious film photographers I think Bellows is a great local option for film development and I'll probably be returning with some more film to develop soon.

He actually found a better file version of the print and made sure I knew every detail. His pricing was more than fair! Because I live around Chicago I coordinated a local pickup and David made it simple. I always wanted to get into 3D printing but didn't want to pay the up front expense, deal with user errors, etc. 3D print Chicago eliminates all my concerns and I can enjoy the wonderful creative world of printing with a professional to handle the project. I would recommend and will definitely use him again!

I met Phil when he hired us to do some plumbing at his home, and upon learning what he did for a living, we decided to give him a shot at a new Ram ProMaster we just purchased. The slightly updated design he came up with looked great, and his turn around time and the quality of the work was fantastic. On top of that his prices were totally reasonable. A few weeks later we purchased another Ram van, and he did another bang up job. We use several restored VW Microbuses for service vans, and one has been on the road for 8 years and will be going in for a repaint soon, and Phil will be getting the job of doing the logo work for that vehicle as well.
