For the first time in over five years there is now a Photography Club at Delhi. The club was reformed to allow interested students to use the darkroom in the basement of Farrell Hall and necessary supplies free of charge. The main goal of the club is to encourage students to pursue the art of photography. The club plans on achieving this by having knowledgeable club members teach photography techniques to others, inviting guest speakers, and providing materials such as darkroom equipment, literature, film, and cameras to members.
Members can take pictures of any subjects they want and use any type of film or camera they wish.
The Photography Club also hopes to participate in community service activities, go on field trips to state parks and photo studios, and work with the Art Club to arrange a large art show next semester. Mr. Rodriguez is now semi retired, but has had a long career in the field of nature photography. Through his career he has traveled throughout the nation's national parks and captured thousands of breath-taking images. Some of his photos have been used in Honda commercials, Sierra Club calendars, and Audubon Society publications. During his presentation, Mr. Rodriguez showed many slides of photos that he had taken and he also gave the audience a lot of advice on various techniques used to capture the best possible photograph.
