Review of Bernie’s Photo Center

After getting in a tight spot (clients changing plans on me), I was in an emergency need for a large backdrop and was worried about getting one in time. After a quick search, I came across Bernie's, a sadly dying breed of actual photography stores. I was worried that the selection wouldn't be adequate, but when I got there, my concerns were put to rest. Not only did they have exactly what I was looking for (and much more), but it was also competitively priced. After solving my immediate problem, a salesman Joe came up to me and asked if I needed any further assistance. I happened to also be in the market for a few more items and was able to intelligently discuss the products. Why? Because Joe, like the other salespeople, is not just a salesman, but also a photographer. I noticed another customer who was new to photography was receiving quality advise from an exceedingly patient salesman, showing that they are not elitist but inviting about photography. They know their stuff and are very helpful. The best part about a store like Bernie's is that potential buyers of usually expensive equipment can actually get a look at and feel for products before they buy them. You just can't match that type of experience online and I am proud to support their business.
