Although it isn’t necessary these days to work with film, one’s understanding of the nature of photography and its history is deepened by experiencing the whole process of shooting, developing, and printing. The magical moment an image appears in a tray of developer can’t quite be duplicated in digital photography, though digital has plenty of other kinds of magic to offer.<\/p>\n

A few days ago I went to Brendan’s class photo show. Each student displayed a black and white 8×10 and a short description of what went into making his or her picture.

He photographed the arch above one of the doors to PS 3, perfectly composed, lines absolutely straight, despite being hand held.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
