Circumstances compel me to rethink my approach to The Photographer’s Sketchbook. As noted last year, my original intent was to create an 8.5 x 11 PDF that could be printed or read online. However, I need to get the class ready for online-only delivery in the fall (thank you, COVID). So I’m switching to Spark.
Spark pages are easy to create and of course easy for students to access from within the course management system. That’s particularly important for the lessons about how to shoot, develop and make prints from film. Even in the old blended format, we did all of our film work together on campus. Now the lessons have to be taught online, with a test replacing hands-on darkroom work.
With that in mind, I’m putting together lessons on film photography, developing film, enlarging and printing. This is the cover image for the first of the four, done with the watercolor simulator in Photoshop.
