The requirements for the first simester are a digital camera; they will not be using film at all. In subsequent simesters, film may be used (probably for large format product photography), but as far as I can see from the course descriptions, there won't be any darkroom work. Courses with names like, "Black and White Lab" are being replaced with, "Photo Imaging Lab". I find this very sad. Inevitable, perhaps, but still sad. -dan c. At 09:44 AM 25-09-04 -0400, B. D.
