I submitted two rolls of film for developing from two old 35mm cameras. I didn’t even know if they were working. Adrian was very helpful since I haven’t handled 35mm film in a long time. I will definitely be going back. Thank you! More...

I had a old disposable camera from ten years ago just sitting in my condo. I had no idea where I was going to take it to get it developed. One day, my mom who wanted to get her old slide developed, decided she would look up places in Petaluma that would print photos from a slide. She was the one who actually found this business. She took her slide in to get developed and was excited with the results of her print. Then I took my old disposable camera in and today I just got the digital prints back. I am so happy! I was not sure if the film would have anything left to print. I was wondering if the film was faded. The film came out clear, even though it had been sitting around for ten years. A few photos were a bit light but that does not bother me at all. I also had other film that he could not develop. He was kind enough to recommend a website for the failed Kodak film that he could not develop. If you are curious about that film, just ask him about Kodak's last brilliant idea, that did not sell well. He loves to talk film! Great business! The guy knows everything about film! It brings back memories for me of my high school days when I used to develop my photos in a dark room at school or in 4-H. Thank you for developing my disposable camera photos! I can not wait to show my family these old photos. :) More...

Went to Simple Photography to get some photos developed from some old chips that had been in my camera. I found out that this was not going to be easy. But Adrain was so helpful and knowledgeable that I came away knowing much more than I had when I got there. He is developing what he can and I am delighted with that. I would highly recommend Simple Photography for your photographic needs. More...

These days it's important to find someone who gives excellent personal service, especially when it comes to printing photographs. I loved my prints, but most of all, I appreciated the excellent service. I know that if I had any problems or special requests, Adrian would make sure I got exactly what I need. As a photographer, I assure my clients that they will receive the best, and with a business partner like Adrian, I am confident that will happen every single time. Thank you! More...

Easily the best scans I've ever received. I don't know of any other lab that gives you DNG files, and after editing them in Lightroom, I don't understand how anything else is acceptable! I'll be sending my film here from now on. More...

I sent over a 20 year old roll of 35mm film and Adrian processed and pulled some very cool scans from the degraded film. Very responsive and thorough when explaining his services. More...

Adrian provided some of the most technically sound film development and scanning services for me that I have yet seen in the world of film. He takes a scientific and carefully calibrated approach to scanning which results in extremely flexible files for post production. On top of that, the negatives he sent back were already packed in an archive sleeve, which is such a nice touch.You won't be disappointed! More...
