The class I’m a TA for is an advanced photo class, and we’re teaching the students to use large format cameras. Each student has been given a 4x5 camera to check out for the quarter. Madness!
I wish I’d had a class like this one as an undergrad—when I was in school, some of my professors did large format demos in class, but I never had the opportunity to play with one on my own. As a result, large format seemed mysterious and scary for a long time, and I didn’t get comfortable using it until I was well out of school.
