What's it like in September, still too hot or by chance?
There was a teacher at Art Center, Vartikian I believe, sp, who kept saying "Chiaroscuro". She was very polished and fun to be in class with.
My next door neighbor just got back this morning from AZ and spent 7 hours at the SLC airport while they cleaned off a fuel spill from a runway. I spent 8 hours there in a snow storm several years back.
Evilhomer? Do I know you from class at the art center?
P.S. What's a kitchen pass?
You do know me from class at the arts center. I couldn't take a class this semester because of work, but I'm looking forward to taking a class this summer.
Kitchen pass is as slang term we use around my office for permission from your wife. We use it mostly as a joke when we want to get together outside of work.
Cool! Yeah, you should come back. I'm the only person doing film and I feel all alone. Dan is taking the class again, but he hasn't been around as much this term, or perhaps he's just not there when I am, and is there when I'm gone, so I haven't seen him to pick his brain. He may do his darkroom class again this summer, last I heard he was still on the fence. Hope to see you!
I took his darkroom class last year and it was great. He is very talented and he is very good at teaching techniques. I may have to take it again because I've been to busy to do any real work lately and I'm feeling pretty rusty in the darkroom.
I would encourage anyone doing darkroom work to take his class. For those interested here is a link to the slc art center Yardkat is talking about: http://www.slacphoto.net/
If you folks want to come up to Park City, I will be teaching at the Kimball Arts Center again. I should have a calendar posted as soon as we get things finalized. I have darkroom processes, using the camera (More for those starting out, but could take anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of doing it right in camera.) And I may have a toning class as well.
I would love to get together. Keep me informed and tell me if I can help with anything.

I'm new, but I'd love to be kept informed, too, if this happens. I'm in the Cache Valley and could travel a reasonable distance. John Bates, great quote!
