Develop Film and Talent at RCC's Open Photo Lab

The Reston Community Center has one of the few photography labs in the area that is open to the general public and offers both black and white and color film developing. For over two decades, the Reston Community Center's darkroom has been a center for creativity, for, in addition to being a well-equipped, well-laid out workspace, it has become a meeting place for photographers at all levels of skill. Several photography exhibitions have been presented by people who've met in RCC's photo lab and the sharing of ideas is an integral part of the RCC photo lab experience.

The public is welcome to use the photo lab during open hours. These are as follows:

· Black And White Developing: first, third and fifth weekend of each month, Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 p.m., Tuesdays from 6-10 p.m. and Thursdays from 1-5 p.m.

· Color Photo Lab: second and fourth weekend of each month, Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 p.m., Monday following a color weekend, 5:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Reservations are required. Please call (703) 476-4500 to make a reservation. The photo lab fee for black and white developing is $7 per visit for people who live and work in Reston and $9 per visit for all others. The fee for color developing is $7 per two-hour session for people who live and work in Reston and $9 per two-hour session for all others.
