\nHere\u2019s another\u00a0Photo Elective<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0shot by\u00a0Tina Garceau<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Tina Garceau!<\/em>\u00a0As I\u2019ve written before, all sophomore students majoring in illustration at\u00a0The Philadelphia College of Art<\/em> were required to take a minor course in photography where the students would shoot and process 35mm black and white photographs. At the time, it seemed like a needlessly pricey course that stood in the way of what illustrators really wanted to do which was to draw and paint. The illustration students didn\u2019t necessarily want to be in a darkroom, and the photography students saw the illustrators as an intrusion on their territory. There was a limited amount of photographic equipment and not a whole lot of space in that eighth floor photography department. Photography majors felt they had eternal dibs<\/em>\u00a0on the enlargers although we were all on the hook for tuition and\u00a0darkroom fees<\/em>. Arguments would invariably break out. The course was something that just had to be endured for a semester.<\/p>\n

I often wondered if this requirement remained as the Philadelphia College of Art<\/em> became The University of the Arts<\/em> and the whole wide world went digital. It would seem to be something that the school would keep in place just to make things needlessly difficult and outrageously expensive. I can’t imagine what a box of 8″ x 10″ photographic paper would go for nowadays or where it could be purchased. I imagine there are online retailers that would fulfill the order, but you better pony up some dough!<\/p>\n

It’s a moot point because The University of the Arts went belly up a little more than a year ago. Their insistence on the “way things should be done”<\/em> doesn’t really count for much any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
