Because we know you've all been waiting, and because of the overwhelming demand in the fall, we are pleased to announce the return of intro courses in the AS220 darkroom! As the last days of winter fade away, make the darkness last a little longer in our fully equip darkroom learning the ins and outs of 35mm film developing and traditional photo printing. Our Intro to the 35mm Camera and Intro to the Black and White Darkroom classes offer a solid foundation in the art of black and white photography and could also serve as a refresher course for those of you who may have let your 35mm gather dust while you persue the glitz and glamour of digital photography. So, get back to your roots, or plant some new ones as the winter thaw starts to wear off. We'll be posting new classes for the Spring soon, but spots are open in the intro classes now! Intro to 35mm Camera runs from 7pm-10pm on Feb. 10 & 17 and costs only $50!! Intro to the Black and White Darkroom runs from 7-10pm on Feb. 24, Mar.3 & 10 and is only $75. Reserve your spot here or contact krystal@as220.org for more info. See you in the Darkroom!!

Party in the Darkroom!!

Nothing says shameless overindulgence like John Waters in a Santa hat, eh? Shake off the post-holiday fatigue with a night of photo geekery, tasty snackery and tasteless film viewery this Monday at the AS220 Darkroom Open House Movie Nite Holiday Party Extravaganza! At 7:00 pm, we will sit back and prepare to be thoroughly and simultaneously creeped out and overjoyed by the work of Mr. Waters in "Pecker," the oddly heartwarming tale of an eager young photographer who gains fame and notoriety through his snapshots of everyday Baltimore, which would naturally include strippers, shoplifting and a ventriloquist Virgin Mary, oh my!
This has been quite a year for the darkroom, and we want to share the spirit of the season with you, dear photo friends, in the best way we know how...through tacky yet heartwarming films about fledgling photographers...and free treats! Join us at 7 p.m. in the Youth Resource Center, right outside the darkroom for what's destined to be a night of photo-tom-foolery AS220 style!
