Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology This is a subpage of User:jtknowles and is being used as a working page to develop a page for the Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology. A previous version of this page was created, but deleted because it was a blatant advertisement from the parent company of the school. I will attempt to make a page that will not be removed, and provide some valuable information to the wikipedia community. --Jtknowles (talk) 20:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
