Summary

Many of you will remember Frank Lopez from the piece I did on him a few months ago. In addition to being an extremely talented photographer, Frank heads up the photography program at Greenhill School in Dallas, TX. Frank has started a new class with his colleague Chad Bittenbender who teaches chemistry. Together they oversee a semester of experimental work from students. All projects start with an idea or concept and then begin a process of learning and experimentation with various chemical processes. The impressive part of all of this is that these are high school students. Most universities are not working this extensively with wet process as most have closed their darkrooms for the ease of digital work. Special thanks to Frank Lopez and Chad Bittenbender, Greenhill School and the enormously talented students there for allowing me to come film and talk about what they are working on.
