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.

March 1, 2013 Dear John, I saw you being beaten in Selma nearly 50 years ago and got on the plane and marched with Dr. King.  You recovered and made it to Montgomery and Washington and the Civil Rights Act of 1965 guaranteeing equal voting rights for all Americans. I saw you being beaten in Washington and this time the blows were so robed in power that people might not notice that while Americans are celebrating Dr. King we are adjudicating Gov. Wallace. The lips of the Justices are dripping with the words of "racial entitlement" while threatening to trample voting rights as surely as the horses of those Alabama police. I must get on my electronic plane this time, John, because my place in the march now is with the disabled and we have our work cut out for us in California where I live now. But I want you to know that I am with you now in Washington as deeply as in Selma. I know you will help us by the shining sea of the Pacific and we will support you to the shining sea of the Atlantic until our land is truly good and crowned with brotherhood and sisterhood for all Americans. Thank you once again, John, and let us know how we can help you most in this movement of the Great Parade for love and justice.

Your right to vote is being challenged now in the Supreme Court. If you're okay with this, forget it. If not, then read this open letter to John Lewis from David Randolph.
