Wolf Camera founder returns to save us from drowning in digital photos

Sept 17, 2015

Chuck Wolf wants to get his hands on a few of those bazillions of photos you’ve lost track of on your phone.

More than a decade after his Atlanta-based photo empire, Wolf Camera, filed for bankruptcy protection, the 73-year-old Wolf has launched what he calls his "last hoorah."He's convinced a little Buckhead shop he has opened can outmaneuver giants like Walmart and Shutterfly to help you do something with at least some of your digital photos and old snapshots.

Find out what he has in mind and how our relationship with images has changed, in Matt Kempner's latest Unofficial Business column on myAJC.com.
