    Don't stop. The choir enjoys a solo. We can't all sing the same
    music.

    > Woody,

    > as a former police photographer( yes, dead bodies, autopsies, mug shots,
     etc., etc.) I know where you are coming from.How I got into teaching
    art is
     another story but I will forever hold on to my 3 Nikon SLRs, my 4x5
    Speed
     Graphic and my new Kodak DC290 digital camera that I just bought. I
    love
     them all.

     When it comes to teaching photography in the classroom I think it
    depends on
     the level. I try and introduce itin a subtle manner. My 6th graders
    do a
     gray scale with their No. 2 pencils for me. I bring out a Kodak gray
    scale
     chart, I measure theirs against my photographic spot meter. They love
    the
     technology and the measuring. This years when my 7th graders did our
    digital
     daguerreotypes using a digital camera and later in the darkroom we
    talked
     about various values of gray and they remembered using the meter in
    6th
     grade.

     Yes I still enjoy mixing Dektol and getting my hands in the soup but
    I
     wonder what all those fumes and chemical absorptions have done to my
    body. I
     really enjoy Photoshop and the kids do to. They are always fascinated
    with
     making images analog or digital. But I'll stop ...I might be
    preaching to
     the choir.
