Seattle Filmworks Home Photo Course

I was wondering if anyone else out there has tried the Seattle Filmworks' Home Photo Course (cassette tapes, etc.). If so, what are your opinions?


---------------------

I have the complete set. It's OK nothing to write home about. The best thing was that I could listen to the tapes on my long drives to work and it would reinforce what I already new. Most of the material I already knew but I m a Photo Mag/book junkie. The thing that bothered me the most was that when they interviewed a person, except for one time, they still used the same narator. It got boring listening to him obviously read the script. I was especially disappointed in Gary Burnstein's topic. First I expected Gary, himself, to be the voice on the tape and secondly that the written and picture material would be fresh and not a rehash of one of his books I already have. He is my favorite photographer for his topic and that was the main reason I bought the course. Also, They send the issues way too often for me. About once every three week. I wrote and requested them sttretch it out longer but was ignored. I simply just kept track of it and mailed them a check every month.

If your a novice it might be worth the cost. At lest its in little chunks.
