The story of WCP (West
Coast
Photographics) started in 1978 by taking event photos of the Trask
Mountain Motor Cycle race in the Summer and then Snowmobile races in
the Winter. These were multiday events, so we could take our film back
to our "lab" and process it and then make "prints" to return the next
day to sell.
To support an event like a Class Reunion or a Dance and
Drill Compition, a "faster way" of delivering finished "prints" was
needed. So in the days before One Hour Photos were popular,
WCP developed the "Mobile Lab". The "Mobile Lab" had a complete
Darkroom, Film Processing and Proofing
area, and included a Micro Fridge and AM/FM Stereo with Headphones for
the Darkroom personal. This Lab could be transported closer to the
event
location, to decrease the delivery time of finished "prints".
Later, High School Class Reuniouns and High School Dance and Drill Team
events were added to the event calendar, and in recent years, Family
Reuniouns have been another event that been added.
