Students must provide their own digital SLR cameras with a minimum of 12 megapixels to take full advantage of high quality printing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from printing and photographing, students will learn how to process images in a digital workflow and organize their work for future portfolio presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project took two years of work before it was approved. It is the brainchild of Chirinos and Kendall Campus Chair of Arts &amp; Philosophy John Adkins. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adkins, an eight year veteran of the College is content with the course, but knows there is still more development to be done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s good; the work that we did will pay off. We still have more to do, we\u2019re refining,\u201d Adkins said. \u201cWe only have one course, it\u2019s still in a piloting process. We\u2019re trying to keep our expenses within reason.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexis Ruiseco, 21, an Art &amp; Art Education major is hoping the class can make him as comfortable with the digital medium as he already is with film. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a lot to learn, there are a lot of skills like controlling my lighting and printing that I haven\u2019t picked up yet,\u201d said Ruiseco who has been shooting film for two and a half years. \u201cI\u2019m not comfortable yet with digital as I am with film and I feel I\u2019ll learn to be [with the digital medium] in this class.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, contact professor Tony Chirinos at 305-237-2209. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time at Miami Dade College, digital photography is being offered as a credit course.
