Digital photography knocks traditional camera shop out of business

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Morning neighbours,

It's the end of an era on The Square in Palmerston North, with the last day of trading for Bruce Watt Photography.

The shop has been running for 70 years. Its closure reflects the shift of film photography from the mainstream to a niche hobby amid the rise of digital and smartphones.

When was the last time you got photographic film developed, or even had digital photographs printed?

Hi is there someone that fixes gas ovens

Joan from West End

My oven is not old. The gas isn’t coming through all the gas jets so the oven won’t stay on. The ignition only goes on certain hobs on the oven top.
please Phone Joan 0226484047
