My Project

Please help me get expensive darkroom photography supplies for our high school! In the year 2025-2026, I am starting a darkroom photography course. I have restored, cleaned, and revamped the darkroom and have a waitlist of 55+ 11th graders who want to take the course and learn this cool and traditional way of creating art.

The darkroom was equipped with a lot of supplies including 4 enlargers that still work!

This darkroom has not be used since the 80s or 90s, and I am so excited to teach and bring this back to my students.

As you know, photography equipment is super expensive, and I am starting a new program which means I need quite a lot to get it up and running. Any help is greatly appreciated in our endeavor to offer this to our students in Philadelphia!
