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.

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. \nOnline registration is required to participate: Register Now
