Always wanted to get into analog photography but don’t know where to start? A long time connoisseur of the medium, but longing to get into the nitty gritty of developing your own film? Look no further! Students will be guided through photography basics, and lead for the first hour to shoot a roll of 35mm black and white film. After the roll is complete, students will be guided through the finer points of black and white film development, from unloading, rolling the film, and development chemistry. Students will leave with a roll of developed film and the resources to develop their own film going forward.

All materials provided. If you have your own camera that you know how to operate, you

are more than welcome to bring it.

Cade Cargill has been exploring film photography for the last two years with B&W, color, and instant. He’s always been interested in analogue photography and appreciates the romance behind it.  He likes to take photos of friends, strangers, nature, animals, and explore the simplicity and beauty of life through capturing those moments. When he’s not at the dark room, he is likely with his daughter and cat, playing D&D with friends, or at the movie theater.

Maria Ruvalcaba has been shooting on film for the past three years and has grown to love the intricate development process.  “While I can appreciate digital photography, I feel most at home behind an analog camera. I take my camera almost everywhere, documenting candid moments of family, friends, strangers, and the places that make me happy. I'm drawn to the subtle details and everyday scenes that others might overlook, finding beauty in simplicity. Outside the darkroom, I spend time exercising, exploring nature, and picking up new hobbies.”
