Darkroom classes
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: http://betaboston.com/news/2014/06/1...local-schools/ |

Crealde School of Art offers photography classes including "PH144 Black & White Film Photography".

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. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

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... -- Stephen Gravity is a Myth.

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. |
