I’m leaving tomorrow to attend the national Society for Photographic Education conference in Chicago. I still haven’t started packing and I haven’t read any of my articles for my class at 9:30 AM, not to mention the five page paper that is supposedly due tomorrow that I haven’t started, oh well, thats life. I’ve been grading photo 1 midterms all day and I’m exhausted…looking at 220 photos from undergraduates can be a very monotenous practice. Anyways, I’m looking forward to the conference, I’m sure we all learn about new digital technologies and how to manage the balance of a traditional photographic education with the new digital theories of education. Or more specifically, how traditional darkroom education practices are out of date and should be completely replaced with digital. yeh, its kinda sad to see where photographic education is heading, especially with the huge push for inter-disciplinary programs that seem to look down on specialization and mastering of one medium. Now we can all learn how to be mediocre at everything and good at nothing.
