Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.

The Albany community is invited to join the Albany High School bands and the Albany Community Foundation at a new and exciting event this spring.  On Tuesday, May 21, the AHS Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Orchestra will perform a free outdoor concert for the entire community in Memorial Park starting at 7 p.m.  Food vendors from Fat Daddy's BBQ, Dojo Dog, Jamba Juice and the MacGregor High School culinary arts program will be on site starting at 6 p.m. so come early and enjoy a preconcert picnic dinner in the park.  Of course, you may also provide your own food.  Albany High School's award winning music program promises to provide an evening of delightful entertainment.  This end of the year concert will showcase the talents of these remarkable musicians to the entire community on the park's outdoor stage. This is a wonderful opportunity for students in the elementary and middle schools to hear the high school performers and imagine their futures as musicians at Albany High School. The Albany Community Foundation is proud to sponsor this special event by providing the organizational framework, publicity, and funding.  We would like to thank Craig Bryant, Director of Instrumental Music at Albany High School and the City of Albany and the Albany Unified School District for their support in this event.   We hope to see you all at Memorial Park on May 21 for this inaugural band concert.
