This might be of interest. It's about schools around
Boston where film photography and darkroom classes
are popular. Apparently they had to find a store to
get them a supply of materials:

Or, they have. Vinyl records are experiencing a resurgence, too.

A four times increase from virtually nothing to virtually still nothing?

sales of vinyl lps were 1.4% of total album sales in 2013.

it can resurge all it wants, but it's still going to be lost in the
noise.

Crealde School of Art offers photography classes including "PH144
Black & White Film Photography". The also have a darkroom rental
program.

http://www.crealde.org/photography.html

The teacher, Peter Schreyer, has quite a solid CV.
http://www.crealde.org/Faculty/Peter...yer/index.html

Quite a nice guy, too. I've participated in some programs with him.


yet another school who hasn't got the memo.

just what do these people who are taking the classes expect to do with
their new found skills? open up a custom darkroom lab?

there is no reason to teach film photography any more than there is
teaching how to work a printing press. they are skills that are no
longer needed.

plus, it's a *lot* easier to teach and learn digital photography than
it is film.

It's astonishing (but perhaps it's not) that you think there is no
longer any need to know how to work a printing press. There are still
umpteen million tons of news print being produced every year plus
heaven knows what of higher grade papers. Do you think it's all going
to be used to wrap fish and chips?

plus, it's a *lot* easier to teach and learn digital photography than
it is film.

Make beautiful prints that generations can enjoy.

With digital, the files would be lost once the person loses interest
in keeping the files up to date & accessible. Assuming the storage
medium even lasts. Digital needs a cpu, software, a display and
something to read the medium the digital file is on.

Film doesn't require special equipment to view, you can see the image
on the film with your eyeball.

there is no reason to teach film photography any more than there is
teaching how to work a printing press. they are skills that are no
longer needed.


So, the catalogs that companies like Grizzly, Mouser, Digi-key and B&H
Photo send out don't exist? Then there are books, magazines and
newspapers.

plus, it's a *lot* easier to teach and learn digital photography than
it is film.


The only difference between the film and digital, is what's needed to
get the final output. Well, there is another, electricity isn't
needed to take a photo on film...

Some people do not always prefer the "easy" way, they try and develop
SKILLS.

There was once a time where REAL photographers knew the techniques necessary
to prevent "red-eye". Now, any moron can touch a button to clean up his
sloppy snapshots.

And that "what's needed" affects cost and response time. Someone with a
camera and no budget can shoot tens of thousands of frames on digital,
someone with a camera and no budget can't shoot on film at all.
