Film is not dead in the Bluffton High School art department
Just when you thought the "old" ways of learning were tossed out the door we invite Icon readers to discover what Bluffton High School art students are "rediscovering:" the wet photo darkroom.
Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher, provided The Icon with this story written by BHS student Nathan Hursh. He writes:
"Film photography is a fine art that unfortunately has diminished throughout time. The digital era has sparked an explosive interest and increase in digital photography. Schools such as Bluffton High School offer classes in photography. These classes include the use of film. Students learn to take pictures using manual camera settings and old-style methods."
