In this two-day workshop BDC founder and photojournalist Michael Kamber will conduct an intensive workshop in the basics of 35mm analog photography. Students will learn camera mechanics, take photographs with vintage 35mm cameras, develop their own film, and make silver gelatin prints in the BDC darkroom. 

The BDC has cameras available for students to use during class time. Students may also bring their own analog cameras if they wish.
