Before we go any further let me just say that I am not the world’s most tech savy person-far from it!  However, even with my meager understanding of printing processes, I was pretty impressed when Eric Luden, owner and operator of the brand spanking new shop Digital Silver Imaging, showed me examples of work shot digitally and processed using traditional gelatin silver chemicals. How is this possible…well, I’m not exactly sure. It involves some very cool machines, old school chemistry and new school papers and technology. I do know that it presents some interesting options for folks out there who shoot digitally but want an actual gelatin silver print. If you want to learn more why don’t you head out to Digital Silver Imaging’s grand opening tonight and ask Eric yourself. The event goes from 4-7 p.m.  You can also check out the article Eric wrote for teachingphotography.com or see him at the Photographic Resource Center’s Annual Portfolio Review Day this Sunday, where he will have a booth and tons of samples.

Teaching Photo is a wonderful resource for photographers, photo educators, and students. It’s run by Henry Horenstein whose no-nonsense approach to topics like post-grad life options, lesson plan ideas, current trends, etc., is refreshing and helpful. Be sure to check it out.
