OK, guys. It’s that time of the year. Wednesday will be our final meeting. I’m officially kind of sad now. 🙁 First things first: Please bring everything you have that belongs to me. Most of you are keeping your cameras, but I’m still missing a Minolta X-700, its macro focuser and a 135mm prime lens.…
As you all know, this has been an interesting year, but it’s not over yet! Don’t forget about our field trip to the PhotoMenage photography studio downtown tomorrow! I have several permission slips from a few of you but I’m still short a few. Here are a few questions that I’m sure are bound to…
Hello, troops! Sorry I haven’t been around lately. I’ve been helping out my friends over at Redwood HEART for a week and, while I was here, we decided to have an end-of-the-year field trip for our photography classes from all three high schools. For those of you who attended the lighting workshop earlier in the…
I’m sorry I won’t be there tomorrow, guys. I’m very sick and will be likely be joining the ranks at Kaweah Delta Hospital. I’m hoping to be okay and be around so we can print again on Wednesday. P.S.: If you left film with me, it’s all developed in the cabinet. We’ll set up again…

Well… That’s just what the New York Times wants to find out. This is a photo contest open to high school students all across the country and is held every year by the New York Times in which you all take pictures of your neighborhoods, your schools, your friends, your family—basically, your lives—and I would…
This past Wednesday was a no-show day for our class and, because of this, no one got a permission slip for a field trip we had planned with Redwood on Friday. While I realize that this trip was very short notice, it still would’ve been nice to go to on a nice little nature walk…
As of last week, we have brand new photo processing chemicals in the lab. I have taken the liberty of mixing the fist batch of paper chemicals so you can come in and make prints. Please remember that the paper chemical needs to be diluted at a ratio of 1:1 in order to make it…
Don’t forget that this Friday is our field trip to Photo Menage Studio downtown for our studio lighting workshop with the photography class from Redwood. If you don’t have a permission slip to me by Thursday, you won’t be going. We’ll see you all then! If you gave me film to develop, it’s hanging up…
