Memphis’ first
& finest camera store.
Celebrating 103 years of serving the Mid-South's amateur
and professional
photographers.
My
grandfather, Fred G. Boehme Sr., founded Memphis Photo in 1906 -- Teddy
Roosevelt was president, a new car cost $750, a gallon of gas was 28 cents and
the average price for a new house was $2800! The business was incorporated in 1916, and that same year, we
started doing business with Eastman Kodak.
Very few companies in business today can say they’ve had an account
with Kodak as long as we have.
My
father, Fred G. Boehme Jr., joined the Company in 1932 during the Depression and
I joined the Company in 1974 after graduating from the University of
North Carolina. My name is Fred G.
Boehme III, but everyone calls me Buzzy.
For three generations Memphis Photo Supply has been meeting the photographic needs of the Mid-South. Whether you’re a professional photographer, a first-time camera buyer or a photofinishing customer, our friendly, knowledgeable staff (including two Certified Photographic Counselors and a professional studio photographer) can answer your questions and help you find what you need.
