Are there any updated community college photography programs in So Cal?
I am degreed mechanical engineering, but I have a passion for photography. I am thinking about going back to a J.C. to get an associates in photography. However, as I look at all the programs offered they all seem to be out of date. What I mean is almost all classes in the program require you to shoot with 35mm film. Only one or two courses in the program touch on digital photography. To me this seems counter-intuitive as film cameras are practically museum pieces now. Kodak, the pioneer in film making and development doesn’t even make film anymore. Everyone owns a digital camera and nearly all professionals shoot with digital SLR’s with post processing done on the computer. I would like to learn the basic on shooting with film and darkroom developing, but I believe this should be a one class thing with the rest of the program focusing on shooting with digital. Does anyone know of a Community College with a good updated photography program in Southern California?
If you want to move north, Berkeley City College has a digital Photography program with lots of new cameras, epson printers, good teachers and a shooting studio. Digital is the way to go, shoot like a machine gun, edit your pictures to find the best and then work on it in Photoshop or Lightroom till your eyes bleed.

Photography and Archaeology (Paperback) $69.76 Photographs preserve the past, while archaeology unearths what has been preserved. Put together, photography and archaeology bring the past into the present, making its image available for a wide audience. In Photography and Archaeology, Frederick Bohrer examines some of history’s most famous archaeological excavations, as well as lesser-known finds, from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Bohrer examines the ways these sites have been represented in photographs and shows how the development of photography in the nineteenth century brought archaeology to the attention of the public. Uniting the histories of both photography and archaeology, Bohrer explains how what we know of the history of archaeology has been related to how it has been photographically represented and circulated in scholarly papers, personal accounts, scientific archives, museum catalogues, and other formats.  He discusses archaeological examples and images by photographers including Maxime du Camp, Francis Frith, John Beazley Greene, and Ernst Herzfeld, as well as more contemporary photographers such as Aaron Levin, Roger Wood, and Marilyn Bridges. While photography seems to guarantee documentary objectivity, Bohrer argues that it also fundamentally alters the archaeological object, transforming it into a work of art. Beautifully illustrated with archaeological images, many published here for the first time, Photography and Archaeology will be of interest to anyone captivated by both photography’s and archaeology’s ongoing engagement with the past. |
