Over 84 years, Peoria Camera Shop survived changes in location and changes in how people took and preserved photographs.

Located at the Metro Centre shopping plaza, Peoria Camera Shop plans to close for good Feb. 25. Its photo-processing laboratory probably will shutter next week, although the store is to continue to sell cameras, lenses and other equipment through February, the Journal Star reports.

“Bill built such a strong business, with over 30 years of history, and we want to do whatever we can to preserve his legacy and see it continue to thrive for years to come,” Brinker stated in an email. “He was kind of known as ‘The Camera Guy,’ at least around Morton,” Nate Dobbins said. “You’d always see him carrying his camera around.”

From then, Nate Dobbins was the store manager. He started working there when he was a teenager. Operating its film processor was among his initial duties. As time passed, the store evolved — particularly as film photography declined, digital photography ascended and cellphone technology improved. Business fell somewhat.
