The Power and Endurance of Film
I worry about our photographic history, I must admit.
We leave too many photos on iPhones or computers or tablets and never print them out. Eventually they die, dissipating in the Ethernet, never to be seen again.
Not so with film, and here's proof of that. If you've never been to this website before, check out The Rescued Film Project at http://www.rescuedfilm.com/
Particularly strong is the most recent find, 31 rolls of undeveloped film from a WWII soldier. It's a beautiful thing when you can find something 70 years old and bring it to life again.
A few years ago I found a 4 x 5 negative at my grandparents' house. I took it in the darkroom here at Sawtooth and printed it. It was a perfect picture from 1920 of my grandparents when they first met, young and in love. It is priceless to me, as no one in my family had ever seen the photo. And I was able to print it over 90 years after it was first taken.
Ah, the power of film.
If you've never taken a darkroom class here at Sawtooth, you most definitely should. Dave Dulaney is currently teaching a darkroom class at night, and Mary Bailey Thomas is about to begin her daytime darkroom classes with Salem College.
If you are interested in knowing more about our darkroom classes, feel free to contact me. We're keeping it alive here at Sawtooth!

Fantastic Workshop Opportunity with Professional Photographer Noel Kerns!
I'm really excited to share the news that professional photographer Noel Kerns has agreed to do a night photography workshop for us at Sawtooth! The workshop will be held from Saturday, Feb. 28th thru Monday, March 2nd and is a great opportunity to learn about using existing moonlight and strobes to light buildings at night to create luminous and slightly eerie photographs!
Here is a link to the workshop for more information: http://www.sawtooth.org/classes/photo/night-photography-and-light-painting-with-photographer-noel-kerns
And here is a link to Noel's website: www.noelkernsphotography.com
