I ask Benny what you hope to accomplish:
"What I hope to Accomplish is Business eperience in the management area of the work place. The experience will be valuable in most of my intrestd majors.
I also interviewed KENDRA KEYES one of our coremember she said:

We received a response to the question of selling of our work at the end of our term. We are going to sell our work to investors that we contact. We are hoping to find people to help support us in our final show. When selling our prints we will get half the profit and the other half will be reinvested in our program. We are contacting local business that we would like to work with. The different ways you can invest in us are:
- Attendance
of our final show - time investment
- Investment
by purchasing a print - $100 investment (8x10) and $200 investment (16x20)
- Investment
by commissioning a print - $200 investment
- Investment
via donation of goods/services - variable investment

We had our first critique of the semester and it was great. We had many great prints but only two were voted as the top prints (we had a tie between Alex and Joseph). We spoke about many prints and the reason these two tied in the top spot was the contrast and the symmetry of the picture. We also received a response to the selling of our work. We are going to sell the our work but we have to contact people to invest in our program even if they just (support )check out our show. To sell our prints we will only get half the cost the other half is to our supplies. We are contacting all business as much as we can, we are trying to do a 10 week project in 5 weeks. |

;) Hey everyone, welcome back to the darkroom; we are very happy to welcome 15 core members back (they are returning members from last semester).We are also excited to welcome 5 new recruits (they are members who have just been accepted into the program). Today we were talking about were we should take field trips to; Were do you think we can get some nice pictures from? We also are starting to teach the new recruits how to use the cameras so they can get started; We also started working on photograms last week and some new recruits are still working on them. One of the more exciting things we are talking about is actually selling our work at the end of the term. No other asm program has allowed students to sell their own work and profit from the sale. Their are alot of details to work out and we are also still waiting on the final answer for how it will work. Well once again welcome back & we hope to have a great semester. If you wanna talk to us or check out our new work try our facebook, twitter, tumblr, and flickr pages. |

Can you say teamwork? ASM Darkroom members take constructive criticism to a whole new level. We used paper clips to place our votes for our favorite pictures and then told what we liked about each one. Each person was able to get feedback and was able to learn about one each other's pictures. For our first critique this semester I say it went really well, and so do the other students in our class.
"All of our members' work was very impressive." -Benny Herrera
"Awesome critique!" - Joseph Nelson
"Great vocabulary." - Klaudia Ryciua
"New styles of photography were demonstrated. Positive reenforcement; what ASM is all about!" -Alex Rodriguez
"I was really impressed with how supportive and helpful all of out teens were. Great group effort and some beautiful prints." - Jonathan Michael Johnson (program instructor)

So ASM has done it again ! We are showing everyone how teamwork is key. Today we established darkroom teams for all 3 of our darkrooms. Darkroom
1’s team name is Tardis, darkroom 2’s team name is The Red Comets, and
darkroom 3’s name is The Chicken Fingers. Each darkroom is competing
against each other for points. Points are awarded for a variety of
exceptional accomplishments. An example of earning a point might
be all the members of the darkroom must do their individual darkroom
jobs in order to maintain the cleanliness of the darkroom. Another
example is darkroom snaps. (To learn more about darkroom snaps click here) An example of loosing a point is forgetting to return your camera that you had checked out the previous class. |

Hey everyone our new recruits want you to see their prints. Check out the team's photograms on Flickr. New apprentices are introduced to the fundamentals of photography by
making a photogram: a camera-less photograph. After placing an object
or group of objects directly onto a sheet of photographically
sensitized paper, the entire group is exposed to light. Opaque objects
block light, leaving the shape of the object in white on the paper.
Areas not blocked by an object are black. Partially blocked areas are
different shades of gray. OUTLINE: Working
with your fellow apprentices, brainstorm until you have an entire page
of self-descriptive words. Plan a designer symbol to represent yourself
by processing all the words you've accumulated, by visualizing their
meaning. Through careful arrangement and creative modification of your
found objects, create a photogram of the a symbol that represents you. Photo credit: Lakesha Howard |
