[Leica] Palm Springs Photo Suppliers

[gcr910 at gmail.com (Greg Rubenstein)]

Hello, group:

I will be in Palm Desert, California, (right by Palm Springs) later
this month and would prefer to purchase b & w film there rather than deal
with security and such at airports. Can anyone offer the name(s) of
camera shops where I can pick up film -- and maybe the odd filter I
may forget to pack? Would also be interested in processing there, if
anyone is aware of of a lab in that neighborhood. Will fly into and
out of Palm Springs, so a visit to LA ain't in the cards.

Online searches have taken me to a a variety of photographers'
businesses and listings for a late-March photo festival
(http://2010.palmspringsphotofestival.com/) that includes Leica as one
of the sponsors, and a rangefinder seminar conducted by Leica's Justin
Staley, Product Specialist, Photographic Division, Leica Camera. No
shop listings, though. Thought about contacting the festival, but
prefer starting by asking people I know.

Thank you in advance for any and all on- and off-list guidance.
