White House News Photographers Association, Washington, DC 
1/4/12
Penn Camera Exchange Inc., with eight retail stores in the Washington DC metropolitan area, and fixture since 1953, regretfully announced on Wednesday January 4th 2012 that it has filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Five locations will be closed immediately and we will hold a special clearance sale at our E Street, Rockville and Tysons locations.
A dramatic decline in sales performance during the preceding holiday period has precipitated this action.
