In this class cameras will be created from everyday objects like tin cans and then loaded with photographic paper on which to record images, which will come to life using basic darkroom techniques. This is a simple, hands-on way to understand photography that can produce surprisingly dynamic and beautiful images. Experimentation will be nurtured and encouraged. No previous photographic experience is necessary. This is an ideal class for parents and kids to take together: a fun photography class for all ages!

Martin R. Anderson has worked extensively with alternative photography over the past seven years, with over 40 pinhole cameras of his own making. In July 2005 he received a fellowship for three-weeks to become an Artist-In-Residence at C-Scape dune shack in Provincetown, where he created a portfolio of pinhole landscapes and self-portraits. In 2006 his pinhole photograph, "Paris, Tuilleries: Alexandre combatant" won First Place in Art & Antiques magazine's annual photography contest. www.martinranderson.com
