Hi I'm David Scheinbaum chair of the photography department at the Marion center for Photographic
Arts. We're probably one of the few comprehensive programs in photography left
in the country. Because so many programs are beginning to do away with a lot
of the early west processes, which we feel are still the foundation for understanding
digital technology. The students in photography are still learning
how to make their own cameras, and make their own materials,
their emulsions, working with the chemistry, working with the tools at the inventors
of photography worked with. And we have state of the are digital imaging.
We also have really strong program in the history of photography, gallery
museum studies, and it's a remarkably practical program. As the technology
changes we need to keep moving along with it. The equiment the students learn on,
the material the students learn that has tp ne
what's happening the day they walk out of here. In their senior year when they graduate.
By the time they finished program here,
I think they have not only a good understanding of the medium, but they
also have a good understanding of what life as a photographer will be in the
twenty-first century.
