View source for M-1

M-1 is the classroom for the photography classes: [[Photography 1|Photo 1]], Advanced Photo, Advanced Photo H, and AP Photo. It consists of a series of connected rooms<!-- not sure if the other smaller rooms are considered subsets of M-1 or have different letter-number names -->, the biggest being the main classroom and the main darkroom. These two rooms are connected by a short hallway which has other very small rooms (three of which are not big enough to comfortably fit more than 3 people), which are used for various purposes. There is also a lockable storage room for cameras. Ms. Durquet and Mr. Gleason are the teachers who used M-1 in the [[2024-2025|2024-2025 school year]]. 

== Main classroom ==
Part of the [[M building]], between [[L building|L]] and [[N building|N]] near the Miranda Road side of [[Campus map|campus]]. The floor is not made of the same linoleum material or carpet as some other classrooms are, and is instead concrete. The room contains a few desktop computers which are connected to scanners (for film photos or negatives) and can run Photoshop.

Arguably a part of the main classroom is the camera closet, which is locked when not in use. It contains cameras and camera equipment such as bags.

== Darkrooms ==
The main M-1 classroom connects to a professional darkroom of the same size as the classroom. It houses 14 enlargers for printing film photos, materials for printing like photo paper and darkroom chemicals, a very large sink used as a table for paper development, and  storage for used chemicals before disposal. It has normal overhead lights and dim red safety lights for when the darkroom is in use.

The hallway connecting the main classroom to the darkroom has a few small rooms along it. The largest of these is a "wet room" containing a large sink, materials for mixing darkroom chemicals, racks to dry printed photos, et cetera. The other rooms are tiny, barely big enough for 3 people, and are mostly used as storage and complete-darkness rooms for handling undeveloped film. One of them is used as a "kitchen" for tea-brewing and such; all four (?) of these rooms have sinks.

== Incidents ==
On the first day of summer vacation in 2024, M-1 was broken into and some cameras and laptops were stolen. The perpetrator has not been caught. M-2, the next-door classroom which serves as a computer lab for photo classes and also houses some cameras, was also broken into later that year.<!-- I don't remember if only laptops were stolen or both laptops and cameras were the second time so not including that info but something was definitely stolen. Also, try not to add too much detailed info about the break-ins; Ms. Durquet is concerned that there might be "copycats" since the first and second incidents were so similar. -->
