Where to Find Paper and Film ONLINE!
All students must purchase 1 bulk roll (100 ft.) of black & white film and 100 sheets of photographic paper for printing in the darkroom. While it is cheaper to buy in bulk, it may be more feasible to purchase the paper in small quantities at a time.  For instance, you can purchase a 25 pack of paper each nine weeks or 50 sheets per semester.  You can search for these items on the websites provided.  Remember, most items could take between 1-2 weeks to ship so please order ahead of time!  Email Mrs. Fisher with any questions. jfisher@hcps.us

Where else can you find a 35mm SLR Camera??  START YOUR SEARCH NOW!!
All students are required to provide their own 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera for class.  In order to avoid buying a new camera, start searching now for anyone you may know that has one sitting around even if it is no longer in use.  Many cameras that are over 30 years old can be brought back to life with fresh batteries.  Former students also try to sell their cameras to incoming students, and you may be able to do the same with the camera you purchase.  If you do need to buy a camera, please consider searching for used equipment from B&H, Adorama, Amazon, Ebay, or Craigslist.  The best possible options for purchasing cameras brand new are listed above.
