Digital BW, The Print

I have switched over to a complete digital workflow and away from the 
traditional darkroom. I have gotten pretty good with Photoshop after 
reading many books and tutorials and bring my darkroom sensibilities 
to the digital process. I am wondering if there is yet another step to 
take with a workshop. I did the two John Sexton workshops and found 
them transformational in the wet darkroom and his teaching to be 
superb.

I am wondering if there is an equivalent style teacher for the 
digial "darkroom" who runs excellent workshops. I am looking primarily 
for an excellent techer who is organized, linear, and an effective 
communicator. I found John to be one of the best I have ever 
experienced and therefore worth the cost and the travel expenses.

Is there such a person in the digital domain?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I took the predecessor to this class about four years ago. It was the 
most useful workshop I've ever taken. I still use most of the techniques 
taught in that class.

I've also heard excellent things about George DeWolfe's classes. Sadly, 
I've never been able to take one.

As to how Jon Cone, George DeWolfe, or anyone else compares to John 
Sexton as a teacher, I wouldn't hazard a guess.

Missed one. You may also want to consider Tyler Boley's workshop at 
Cone's place. Tyler is one of the most respected list members we have. 
And excellent photographer, and someone who actually "gets" printing - a 
rare combination indeed.

"As to how Jon Cone, George DeWolfe, or anyone else compares to John

I've taken four workshops from John Sexton, three were one week workshops, 
the other was two weeks. I've also taken George deWolfe's one week digital 
black and white printing workshop at the Palm Beach Photographic Workshops. 
Since I've spent five weeks in John Sexton's workshops I obviously thought 
he was an excellent teacher. He also was a very nice person, he gave the 
best portfolio critiques I've heard, he was well organized, stayed in the 
class room until late at night then got started early the next day. I also 
thought his enthusiasm for photography was infectious. I've probably taken 
12 to 15 workshops over the years and I think John's were the best. George's 
workshop was also very good. I don't think he's quite on the same level as 
John but he's very good and I'd recommend the workshop I took to anyone who 
isn't already an advanced digital b&w printer. I've never taken a workshop 
from Jon Cone so I can't compare him to George and John.
