Artists

I did darkroom work in the 70s by the seat of my pants - this looks like about 15 seconds . . . oops, guess I was wrong.

The first course taught me a methodical process for determining which filter to use and exposure time, so I wasted far less time (and paper). The second darkroom class taught me your to use split filtering (exposing with one filter for the highlights and a second for shadows), which creates a much richer range of tones. (A lot of these were printed using a single test strip - something I never managed using a single filter).

I've also used new-fangled things called digital cameras and photoshop (photo III and commercial). I had to take classes out of order, since COVID decimated a lot of studio disciplines. I took photo I in fall 2022. This semester is the first time they have offered photo II since then. More bodies in the classes will help keep them going!
