Children aged 8-11 Can Experience Photography's Origins at SMP's Summer Photo Camp | | |
Travel back in time to the early days of photography and experiment with many unique and unconventional image-making techniques - even without a camera!
Starting June 14th, in the first week of our 2010 summer camp schedule, children aged 8-11 will discover what it was like to be photography pioneers.
 Early photographic processes will be explored using some of the oldest, simplest, and most intriguing photographic technologies from the 1840's. Blue prints, sun prints, photograms, and pinhole cameras are just some of the processes your child will get to experience! And that is just the first week of camp! There are also two other weeks available. Camp sessions will also run from June 21-24 and June 28-July 1. Why not sign up for all of them and have three magical weeks of photo fun!

Is it possible to take a picture with no more than a cardboard box, a sheet of photo paper, and a sewing needle? Yes!
Campers will play the part of early photo pioneers, building their own cameras from cardboard boxes with photo paper in the back. The pinhole in the box will be like the cameras lens. The paper negatives will be processed in the dark room and made into "postive prints." Who knew photography could be so easy?

Bring your imagination! We are going into the dark room to CREATE pictures.
 Photograms are contact prints, made when objects are placed in "contact" with photo paper in the dark room. By placing objects of all sizes, shapes, and textures on photo paper, campers will create patterns, designs and silhouettes of all kinds of crazy and interesting objects. The "cameraless" work of art (left) is an example from a previous camp.

Can a photograph get a sunburn?
Sound too funny? Well, it can--if it's a cyanotype
Some of the first photographs were made by using the sun to expose specially made paper in order to fix and hold the shadows made from ordinary objects. These were Cyanotypes, or "sunprints." These camera-less photographs are made on paper that has been coated with two harmless, simple chemicals that will react to the sun light, changing the color of the exposed areas from blue to white.
