Keep film ALIVE! In teaching photography I have found that the hands-on experience of taking photographs the "old-fashioned way" is a great way for students experience how photography works. Digital photography is great for teaching composition and basic camera techniques, but when a student is limited by the number of shots they can take, as is the case with film, they find they need to take more time to get the 'correct' photo. The process teaches patience and the importance of following directions. When students develop their own prints they better understand the concepts of aperture and exposure, and how to problem solve when the print does not come out the way they wanted. This valuable teaching method can be expensive and not all of my students can afford the extra cost of the materials.
