Digital BW, The Print

I've done a 5 day workshop with Dan Burkholder followed by 5 days with
George DeWolfe at the Calumet Institute at Salisbury. Although Dan's brief
was predictably mainly about digital negatives I found it to be the most
instructive week in my digital mono experience. So much of the care and
attention and adherence to good techniques that are so necessary for
successful digital negatives for platinum and especially silver transpose so
very well into conventional digital output and the disciplines learnt there
will stand me in good stead for a lifetime.

Additionally Dan is a great hard working teacher with a wicked sense of
humour that makes the week so interesting, instructive, and lacking in
hot-air and waffle. Dan was such a hard act to follow that it's probably
slightly unfair on George but that second week with him, although
interesting, fell well short of the first with Dan.

So if you see a Burkholder workshop, especially of a reasonable length where
you have time to divert the attention from negatives, I can thoroughly
recommend it.
