An exploration of the fundamental technical issues in black and white photography beginning with proper exposure and development of film and continuing to an understanding of rendering the gray tone scale in printmaking.

The final project, of the student's choosing, demonstrates the advancement of technique and an appreciation of how the camera transforms the seen world into a photograph.
