I've studied black and white photogaphy since my freshman year of High School. I took a pre-college Photography course at the Maryland Institute College of Art the summer before my Junior year. In college I was only able to do darkroom in my third year by reviving a darkroom space that had been closed for 2 years. The darkroom is fully functioning and we offer film and paper to students. We had to start from scratch and it was a lot of work, so I am forever thankful to the underclassmen who helped me.
