Learning Photography is a place to learn tips and tools of film photography, the kind of film photography that you can practice as an artist in your own home or in a professional lab or both. The original idea for this site was describing the process of setting up and maintaining your own black and white darkroom at home, and all that information is still here under The Darkroom, but pages like Camera Basics can be applied to newer technology, like Digital SLRs — because at a certain level, a camera is a camera, and let’s learn how to use them to make better photographs!

Learning Photography is a work forever in-progress. If there are topics that you have questions about, feel free to ask!

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an even as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.

I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds — the one inside us and the one outside us. As the result of a constant reciprocal process, both these worlds come to form a single one. And it is this world that we must communicate.
