Last year I made a "Green" portfolio, and my favorite piece was a picture of under my dad's Dodge Durango (his exhaust pipes and other stuff like that) and in the corner was a quote from Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. I made this in the dark room so the under-side of the car was a negative - it was SO dramatic - and in the bottom right corner this distressed and somewhat blurry hand-written quote. While some people are really moved by this piece, others scoff at it (usually conservatives and small minded ass holes).

I just got the Canon 50D a week or two ago and I LOVE it. In July I got a Canon Rebel - I begged my parents to get me a bigger camera but they didn't understand (they didn't used to be supportive of my photography since it is so expensive). I have won 12 Scholastic Gold Keys (they are the highest award you can win in the Scholastic competition for high schoolers), all of them except 2 were for my analog photography. I started with analog and since most film cameras are very old, the automatic settings on them (if they even have them) are not very reliable, so I was forced to learn the ropes on ISO, aperture and film speed. I also got to be a dark room expert and enthusiast. I recommend to anyone interested in photography that they become familiar with the darkroom. Even if you do not want to buy an analog camera or go through the hassle of developing negatives, you can still utilize the dark room's many features that will certainly enhance your art. Since I fell in love with my Canon 50D, I sort of abandoned my analog camera for the past week or so. However, I still use the dark room all the time with my digital photos. What I like to do is print my digital pictures on transparencies (they are transparent, plastic slips of paper that can be used on over-head projects), bring those into the dark room and place them over Poly-Contrast RC Glossy photo paper and turn on the enlarger light so the photo paper is exposed at all different levels all over the picture and creates a wondrous negative version of your original print. It adds a unique and dramatic touch to all my photos, it is somewhat my signature. I suggest this technique to anyone looking for a way to enhance their art!!

I've been using a few different point and shoot cameras over the last 10 years and just bought my first DSLR. It's almost overwhelming as to how much more complex it is to use over a point and shoot. The technology is amazing! Thanks for the “Know your rights” tip. I’ve been using a few different point and shoot cameras over the last 10 years and just bought my first DSLR.
