Open lab hours are now available in the Photo area. The photo spaces are only available to students actively enrolled in photo courses and appropriately trained in equipment and safety procedures. Every space throughout the program requires advanced registration to insure that we don't exceed maximum occupancy and can maintain safe physical distancing. Anyone not enrolled in a class must receive special permission from Byron Wolfe (byron.wolfe@temple.edu).
It's a simple online registration system that you can access through this link: tyler.temple.edu/room-reservations. The link is permanently available in "THE STUDIO" category in the column at right as the OPEN LAB RESERVATIONS link.
To reserve a space, navigate to "Photography," and choose the room you wish to use (the most commonly used digital labs are B30S and B30T). Identify the specific area where you want to work, then look at the schedule for times blocked out in green. Click on the green blocks to reserve. Different spaces have different increments of time available. If a given time doesn't have a colored block, that means it is unavailable for a booking.
Once you've made your selection, scroll down and select the blue "Submit Times" button.

Before there was Facebook, instagram, Polaroid, or even Kodak Brownie cameras, cabinet cards ruled the world of photographic social media. Tyler's very own Dr. Erin Pauwels has been involved in an exhibition and newly published book about 19c cabinet card photography. She's going to be part of a zoom exhibition talk this Thursday night from 7:00 - 8:30 PM EST. Dr. Pauwels will join prominent photography curators John Rohrbach from the Amon Carter Museum of Art and Britt Salveson from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The talk is being held in conjunction with the exhibition Acting Out: Cabinet Cards and the Making of Modern Photography.
Participation is free, and registration is required.

Dear Photo students,
Welcome back!
It’s great to finally start to see familiar faces (or at least portions of faces!) after our abrupt switch to online last spring. If you’ve had a class in the Photo Area this week, you’ve no doubt seen the dramatic changes to the Lower Atrium gallery (with new lights!). Construction began in May, and it made for a messy summer and we really only gained access to Photo last week so we’ve been working feverishly to clean up from the spring semester and get up and running for fall. When you see Jille, please be sure to thank her for all that she has been doing. If you haven’t been in the photo area yet, pause in the atrium to look around and see what has been accomplished. There’s still more work to be done as we’ll be getting a glass entrance and doors.
You’ll also notice other changes in school which you’ve no doubt been hearing about for weeks; your schedules are different, how you access things is different, the number of people in any one area is very different, and the way we interact is now different. You’ll see hand gel and wipes all around, and of course we all have to social distance at all times and wear masks. The photo faculty and staff have been working extraordinarily hard all summer long to prepare for the best possible educational experience whether that’s online or in person. I ask that you please do all that you can, individually and collectively, to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep each other safe and healthy, and to insure that we can continue to access our classrooms and studios. Our spaces have maximum occupancy signs and designated zones for working. For everyone's sake, please follow the guidelines as established.
Soon, we’ll be sharing and open lab schedule and the method for how you’ll be able access the photo area. There’s a school wide reservation system that’s still being polished. As soon as it’s ready, we’ll let everyone know, and offer some form of a tutorial.
