Black and White Infrared Film Lesson! New on the class website!

Exciting news, folks! We now have a fabulous 35 mm camera AND all sorts of film! My favorite is the black and white infrared film. Over Spring Break I went to the Denver Botanic Gardens to create some images for the lesson. See me in class if you are interested in this fun project!

Spring Break Photo Challenge!

Alright, alright, alright. Who thinks they can beat me? So far I've taken over two hundred digital photos, 20 Polaroids (with about ten unsuccessful photo transfer attempts), 36 black and white infrared 35 mm photos, and 4 black and white infrared 120 film (Holga) photos. I had fun puttering around the Denver Botanic Gardens today, and I'm posting some old photos that were taken in Boulder with a disposable black and white film camera. The lessons are in the creation process. If you would like to shoot film, see me in class when we return! Enjoy the rest of your spring break, and see if you can beat me!
