END OF YEAR GALLERY

We've finally set a date for the End of the Year Gallery

Date: March 21!!
Location: Student Centre Marketplace

Now's the time to start thinking about photos you might want to submit. Photos can be B&W, colour or digital and preferably 8x10.

For those of you who have come out to the trips, there is going to be a section specifically for trip photos.

March 21 is also Stop Racism Day, so if anyone has any photos that are relevant to this cause feel free to submit and we will post them.

Submissions will begin in second semester closer to the date of the gallery.
All pictures will be returned to owners.

So everyone get out those cameras and start shooting!

Darkroom Access

Everyone that has purchased a film membership as of October 28th, 2006 should now be able to access the darkroom.

How to gain acess:
Go to the second floor of the security office by Mary Keyes. Hand them your student card, and they will give you a key in exchange. There is no time restriction on how long you can keep the key (as long as you don't need your student card), but since there are only two keys available, please be considerate of others and only keep the key for as long as you really need it. The security office is open 24/7, so feel free to do your photography whenever you like!

Also:
- There is a sign-in book in the darkroom, please sign-in and tell us what you've been up to in the darkroom and what chemicals may need to be replaced. Our darkroom managers clean and restock weekly.
-Please take note of the workshop times that are listed on the website. These workshops have priority for darkroom use.
- Put up the "darkroom in use" sign while you're in so that no one walks in while you're developing. Similarly, knock before entering, just to make sure!

Additional membership and film/paper sale times will be posted soon!
