Lenses & Brushes

It all started as a fleeting dream in 2021 while I was immersed in a Fine Arts Photography class taught by David Marr. The spark that turned this dream into a reality was the news about David and Kris, the owners of Cole Marr, retiring and closing down their photography workshops.

Cole Marr wasn't just any studio; it held Boise's last public darkroom, a place close to my heart. I remember the moment vividly. The news hit me, and it felt like a call to action. I couldn't let this symbol of our community's creativity fade away. So, I spoke with David and Kris, and before I knew it, I was on the path to take over, fueled by a blend of excitement and a deep sense of responsibility.
