The basics of 35mm photography will be covered in this first level traditional photography course with instructor Gail Porter. Beginning with a comprehensive examination and understanding of the camera and light meter, students will learn to develop film, make contact prints , and to enlarge prints using variable contrast filters to improve print quality.

Slide presentations of both historic and contemporary photographers will accompany each asssignment as students learn to control depths of field and interpret motion in still photography. Frequent critiques and class discussions will help students to improve their ability to talk about photographs, to define their interests in photography, and to improve composition.

The six-week class is held on Mondays from 7-10pm from October 8th to November 12th 2007. The cost for the workshop is $250 not including supplies. Interested people can contact Scott Lapham at 401-274-1299 or scott@as220.org.
