The call is coming from inside the house; a full moon in cap and mercurial retrograde in cancer, ringing. Asking what still belongs and what can no longer be carried… 𓇢 Open hands are not the same as empty hands 𓇢𓆸

Tuesday the 30th was our last day of the summer class ‘Advanced Darkroom Photography’ at Watkins/Belmont. Everyone made major strides this semester, from moving to larger format fiber based paper to more advanced techniques like photomontage and split grade printing. Proud of this group.

Fall semester is already in the works, sign up link below. We will get into the zone system, explore installation approaches, and continue refining darkroom technique.
