WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS

Gregory Heisler, Past Workshop Attendee, says,

"The wisdom of D-65 stems from its premise that Seth Resnick (unlike the dime-a-dozen "experts" doesn't  presume to know everything, but possesses a powerful need to really understand things.  He absolutely understands, for example, the crucial, undeniable interdependence of the digital medium on all of its component parts and conveys this valuable knowledge very clearly and systematically to the class.  Not only regarding the hardware of cameras, computers, and printers.  And not just the myriad software choices: the capture, processing, editing, image manipulation, storage, and output applications. The true value of D-65 lies in its integration of all these aspects into a comprehensive whole; how they can dovetail to best facilitate top-quality, dependable, consistent results as well as successful and efficient use of the digital medium and all that it offers.  It's invaluable that Seth immerses himself in the entire process; the real world, soup-to-nuts experience of actually working through all the false starts, wrong turns, short cuts, and dead ends of the digital workflow.  Further, he takes nothing for granted and relishes any opportunity to challenge conventional wisdom.  He accepts no manufacturer's specs at face value, questions every so-called "standard" challenges accepted practices, and keeps pushing until he's satisfied.  He's nuts, but in good way. 
 
D-65 doesn't spew out generalized rules and settings that seem to be O.K. or are good for most stuff.  Seth specifically recounts his own direct experiences of what works, what doesn't, and why.  He explains his process, shares his results, and offers his recommendations.  Yet he leaves it to you to accept, reject, or assimilate the information, modifying it to suit your own creative needs, business practices, and working style as you see fit.  Although his conclusions are hard-won, he remains open to other points of view, alternate approaches, or new solutions.  He keeps abreast of recent developments and is aware of what's coming down the pike (legend has it that he even has a bit of a hand in shaping the tools we may be using next month, or next year)."
