Practicing photography from his East Village studio since 1982\, he is known for combining fine art and documentary photography of the downtown music and art scenes. \nA graduate of The School of Visual Arts (1990) Michael’s teaching career began at Parsons School of Design in 1994.

Although she later received business-related degrees\, her passion lies with film photography and printing in a traditional darkroom. In her first attempt to display her photographs\, Browne’s “Life Lines” was selected in a juried competition for exhibition at the Pen and Brush Gallery\, in Greenwich Village\, by Daile Kaplan\, Vice President and Director of Photographs of the Swann Galleries\, May 2009. Thereafter\, she began documenting Harlem as it evolves through its Second Renaissance.

Students use film cameras\, and print from negatives in the darkroom as a basis to learn photography. HHD offers photography basics and darkroom printing for youth\, teens and adult printers\, from beginner level to advanced. \nAs darkrooms\, photography and public school arts programs disappear\, HHD strives to preserve both culture and photography in the Harlem community. HHD offers group printing classes\, photography classes (film and digital) and discussion about current photography issues in a collegial setting. HHD collaborates with local community arts and culture organizations seeking youth and adults interested in photography. \n  \nHamilton Heights Darkroom Workshops and all programs at The Children’s Art Carnival are made possible with funding from West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the Ruth Foundation for The Arts and donations from New York Film Academy. \n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://childrensartcarnival.org/event/photograms-for-parent-child-by-hamilton-heights-darkroom/ LOCATION:The Children’s Art Carnival\, 62 Hamilton Terrace\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://childrensartcarnival.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/hs_CAC_photograms3.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Children's Art Carnival":MAILTO:info@childrensartcarnival.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260228T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260228T150000 DTSTAMP:20260404T075037 CREATED:20260130T022026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260130T022026Z UID:10001331-1772283600-1772290800@childrensartcarnival.org SUMMARY:Collage/Mixed Media for Families DESCRIPTION:Calling all Harlem families! \nCome on out and join artist Elan Cadiz for her fun mixed-media classes designed for the whole family.
