BATTERIES:
Depending on the make and model, cameras take specialized batteries. You can find batteries at:
1. Radio Shack
2. Batteries Plus
Some Drugstores might have newer make batteries. You can also order batteries online from places like Amazon or eBay but you must make sure the battery you need is the right one. The best way to do that is look at the manual for the camera. If you can’t find a manual for your specific camera, try doing a web search or check online at (you have to do a little searching on this site):

Film:
This class can be expensive. Your fee covers the cost of chemicals and darkroom equipment. You will need to pay extra for film. Film cost is $4.00 per roll. You will have 4 shooting assignments ($16). If a roll does not come out, you will need to buy a new roll of film and reshoot the assignment. You will need to pay for your film in the main office and get a receipt. You will give me the receipt and I will give you film. I can only give you a roll of film with a receipt from the main office. If you are sharing cameras, YOU CAN NOT SHARE FILM! Students must shoot their own complete roll of film for each assignment. You will need the first roll paid for by February 4th.
Paper:
You will need to buy a pack of photography paper. You will need to pay the main office the $20 for photography paper and then bring the receipt to me. Paper will be needed in class on February 11th. The cost of the paper is $20. If you need more paper, each pack costs $20. You will need to be responsible for keeping your photography paper safe and free from light.
