Print article Anchorage photographers will lose one of their few remaining local options for film processing and custom printing when Keller’s Custom Photolab closes this month after nearly 40 years. For decades, the Spenard business was an essential stop for many professional photographers in Alaska. But it had gradually lost customers with the rise of digital imaging, said owner Jo Keller. “Business has really gone down, and the COVID hasn’t helped anything,” she said. “But the photography business itself has really changed.” Keller’s will take its last orders on Dec. 18 and close its doors for good on Dec. 24. Keller, 66, said her desire to retire was also a factor.
