Using various media (oil painting, video/computer photography, and multiprint imagery) the artist changes the photograph's compositional elements. Outlines the phases of this evolutionary process. Illustrates four images created by the technique. (DB)

Alternative curriculum strategies can be used to conduct an effective photography program without the expense usually associated with a darkroom. Three methods can be used to eliminate the need for a darkroom facility: outside vendors, an emulsion that can be user-processed without access to a darkroom (slide or transparency film), and emulsions…
