a whole house!
as some of you know I am working as a teacher in (analouge) photography here in Denmark.
the school where I teach has decided to up grade the photography section quite a lot.
normally we have a (large) darkroom in the basement - the wet room also down there, and a (not so great) studio in the other end of the school.
however, due to inspections and thereby thumbs-down from the health department inspectors (I hate those guys) we have to do something.
the ventilation isn't good enough (har to do in a basement).
so here it is:
a whole house (next to mine) is being prepared for photography!
how great is that?
darkroom - wet room - out doors toning/alternatibe technique area - large studio - gallery - and out own secluded garden to stay in....
We have decided to upgrade the analouge photography here.
as everybody seems to go digital (at least in Dk) the old techniques will here have a niche.
we will teach our students - we will make workshops in old techniques - and hopefully, we will cooperate with the Danish museum of Photography, where we will try and make the old techniques alive, using some equipment from the museum (they have spare items hidden in their basement...).
a living museum, one could call it.
and I'll be the custodian!
up stairs in the house a large area will be made to teach theory - make indoors UV lightings and of course have some computers with scanners and so on (no need to make a clean break from the digital area - rather try to make a marriage between the two worlds..)
I have made some quick images of our new house - have a look, if you will - and maybe make me some suggestions in how to make it perfect!
when it is done I'll show you the results.
