Gary Camera & Digital

Gary Camera was founded in 1940 in the steel regional center of Gary Indiana. The original founder and owner was Joe Janowski. In 1971, Ray Blane, who had been working there since 1949, took over ownership of Gary Camera from Joe. Shortly thereafter, a devastating fire ...in 1974 forced Ray Blane to move Gary Camera to its current location south on Broadway to Merrillville, Indiana.

Today, Gary Camera & Digital is fully-stocked photographic retail store where you will find the latest and hottest digital cameras and photographic accessories on the market. Digital SLRs, point 'n shoots, lenses, camera bags, filters, batteries, used 35mm cameras, tripods, monopods, frames and more! You'll find it all here along with the professional service and knowledge that has kept us in business since 1940.

We continue to operate a Kodak 1-Hour Lab along with an in-store Camera Repair Shop and technician with over 30 years of experience. Gary Camera & Digital offers other transfer services including: Super 8 and 16mm Movie Film to DVD and VHS to DVD.

The launching of our 2010 web store, GaryCameraDigital.com, marks the beginning of a new path for what is now Gary Camera & Digital. We will always be the same traditional “mom ‘n pop” shop, but now you can shop conveniently from your own personal computer and enjoy the same great customer service our professional sales team has diligently pieced together for you online.

Today, Mark and Barry Blane continue to own and operate our walk-in store located in Merrillville, Indiana. Mark’s son, Travis, aids them in the operation and design of the web page.

From all of us at Gary Camera & Digital, we hope you have a pleasant experience shopping with us in the future and thank you again for all of your loyal business for the all these years! Read More
