When I was invited to be part of the MPS
in Digital Photography program I jumped at the opportunity to share the
technical side of digital imaging with graduate level students. The current
trend in the photographic industry is towards push button auto-everything
consumerism, which has devalued the role of photographer and the creative
community in general. Sadly, many educational programs have become simple
mouthpieces for the hardware and software manufacturers. This program is unique
in the country and I give Katrin Eismann credit for having the vision to make a
difference in the educational focus. Helping foster a new generation of
technically savvy imaging professionals is incredibly rewarding, and as highly
educated consumers, our students will be able to cut through the marketing haze
to identify and develop the best of class imaging solutions to push the
creative envelope.
