Photo of the Week
Calumet customers are photographers by profession, hobby and, most importantly, passion. The Photo of the Week is an opportunity for our customers to share that passion. We have received hundreds of spectacular images from all types of photographers since introducing the Photo of the Week. While this makes it more difficult than we'd imagined to choose only one per week, it proves two things: our customers are magnificently talented and intensely passionate when it comes to photography.
