My boys and I had to meet at friend at Concordia University recently, and we ended up down in their darkroom space. I was SO HAPPY to see a handful of John Marshall's homemade darkroom stations still being used down there! He build dividers, countertops, shelves, and drawers for each enlarger when the College of Visual Arts re-did their labs in 2011. And then when CVA closed a few years later, many of them went to Concorida. Seeing these made me smile:

For the past 34 days (and for the next 10 days), I've been sharing one image each day from around my solo exhibition that recently came down from the Concordia Gallery. With each image, I also share a little "behind the scenes" info as well. Check it out by searching PhotoStenzel on Instagram!

My Digital Photography II class has some work hung in the hallway outside of our classroom. It's from the "Directorial Mode" project. Here's the text that's hanging along with the prints:
For this assignment, students created 4 final images that lend themselves to the idea of what A.D. Coleman calls the “Directorial Mode.” In his essay he writes: “The work of every photographer describes a unique, personalized version of the universe shaped by that photographer's sensibility and intentions. In the imagery of those who choose to function directorially, this shaping is more aggressively done...”
So these students “aggressively” shaped their images, controlling all aspects of what appears on the print.
More from Coleman: “The directorial mode challenges our long cherished assumptions about the transparency of the photograph, its purported neutrality, its presumed objectivity; insistently undermining the credibility of the photograph, it puts the image in question.”
Students “put their image in question” and created 4 highly controlled photographs. They printed one of their 4 final images on 17” roll paper, and those are the images displayed here.

I recently just moved into my 6th office space at Hamline University. (Oh the life of an adjunct!) It's in a building at Hamline that I'd never been in:
