A training workshop, "Developments in Documentary Photography" will be held
starting on May 8, 2001.  Quality documentation is one of the cornerstones of
the conservation profession.  In this workshop, basic documentary photography
techniques will be revisited and the pros and cons of different cameras and
equipment will be discussed.  Digital photography is still a relatively new
field and there are many misconceptions about what the technology  can and
cannot do as a documentary tool.  The pros and cons of different digital
cameras, an overview of their file storage capabilities, and some intended uses
of digital images will be addressed.  The format of the workshop will be a
combination of short lectures and hands-on sessions.

Ciad mile failte!
