WWW Resources for Photography

Several web resources are posted on the teacher's home page [Darrow's List]. The "tree" below shows how to find these resources. In addition, search engines can always be used to find answers to specific questions. AltaVista is recommended. It is a "text-based" engine which searches for specific words and phrases through the text of files.
