teaching teenagers photography

I just finished teaching a three-week intensive darkroom class at SVA with 15 teenagers, average age 15. They were wonderful. Worked hard, came in early to develop film, spent many hours in the darkroom and many more shooting pictures. I'm very proud of them, and myself, and my Teaching Assistant, Molly Matalon. A good time was had by all....

It costs $25 and comes with a free digital download. The book of 94 pages is perfect bound and has portraits of 30 very interesting creative people, all over the age of 80, photographed in their homes and studios. It was designed by Renee Rockoff.

There is a wonderful introduction by Marion Winik, which you can read here:
