I have to say I'm proud to have worked at this place.

Check out the history link toward the bottom of the page.

Also, check out the fact that they featured one of my photos 10 years ago, and they still have it! That was their first website, and they carried it over when they got a proper retail site. I took that with a Rolleiflex TLR I had spent my paycheck on, hehehe.

Hey! Just a couple days ago I marked that very store in my Chicago City Guide book that someone sent me, as somewhere to check out next time I head to Chicago! (GAWD I WISH IT WOULD WARM UP!!!)

Let me know when you're coming again; maybe we'll meet up.

There are a couple other camera stores in Chicago that probably have more stuff, but they sure don't have the character of CCC. When you walk in there, the floorboards creak under your feet. The stock goes up the walls probably 15 ft. high. Glass cases and it's crowded on Saturdays. This place is a dying breed. It is a must-see for any photographer coming through Chicago.
