The End of an Era...

Today, I have learned some unsettling news. Metro Photo—the store I work at—will be closing its doors on June 30th. Metro Photo has been an established business in Wichita Falls, for over 30 years. Though I have only worked there for three years, Metro Photo has become a large part of my adult life. It was my first step into the business/retail side of photography; it helped me make several personal and professional connections with local photographers, and it also my first full time job. I love sharing my passion for photography and Metro Photo allowed me to utilize my passion through sales, customer service, and photography instruction. I hate to see it close down. This town needs a camera store. There is nothing like it around this area. But due to economic difficulties and competition with online stores we have to close. I would like to say something to our customers—thank you. Thank you for your loyalty, friendliness, and understanding you were the reason I enjoyed working there. I am sure going to miss it.
