<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Queens’ Photographers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry to only write to you at this advanced stage of the
year! For all of you who don’t know, Queens’ is incredibly
lucky and one of the only colleges to have a fully functional darkroom, and as I’m
running it this year, I’d like to let you know what is going on with that
wonderful little room in the Docket basement…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The main problem that many people have with darkrooms
(including myself!) is that people find them very interesting but do not really
know how to use them properly, if at all. That’s where I’m planning
to change things! The Society has finally managed to find an experienced
photographer who is willing to hold TUTORIALS AND PRACTICAL WORKSHOPS IN
DARKROOM TECHNIQUES for all those willing to learn basic and more advanced techniques
to do with the developing, processing and finishing of black and white
photography!!! Iain Parker is an experienced photographer who has been working
in the field for many years, having accumulated a great wealth of experience
and works part-time at Jessops.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’d like to get these up and running as soon as
possible, so it would be really great if I could get a rough number of people
who would be interested in attending the darkroom workshops. Ideally, I would
like a rough idea of numbers by the end of the weekend so that we can work out
how many groups and sessions we will need and how many hours we’ll need
to get Iain in for.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are interested, please send me an email (jg520) as
soon as you can and I’ll get back to you ASAP with possible times and
dates for the workshops. The more interest we have, the more techniques we can
learn about so even if you’ve never considered using a darkroom, please
consider giving it a go! It is a skill that’s dying out and can be really
interesting to engage in and extremely rewarding (as well as a nice thing to do
on a cold evening)…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On a separate note, if there is anyone who has used a
darkroom before or wants to have a look at our facilities, let me know and I can
put you on the list so that the Porters will allow you to sign the key out. Beginners
might have to get a bit of a safety talk from me (boring, I know!) but College demands
it!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hoping to hear from you soon,<o:p></o:p></p>
