Photo Department Revisited

I talked to Talon Marks Photo Editor Michael Agudo about the color issue with the photo department.

He said the film-based photo classes don't use color and the chemicals for color in the dark room are too expensive.

Maybe that was Commissioner of Fine Arts Sun-Hee Kim's concern?

Maybe she thinks the Photo Department should get more funding so photo classes can have color.

Now I ask the question, will the photo students learn more if they had the color chemicals?

I learned a lot from when I took a photo class. I can't say I could've learned more if I was working with color.

Is the process essentially the same either way?

I was going to ask Kim these questions but she was a no-show at the Cabinet meeting today.
