I'm speaking of teaching "clients"
to do the work they used to hire me to do.

I'm not speaking of teaching students
to become the next generation of professionals.

I also taught college level design courses;
as well as many darkroom, studio, and computer assistants
over my 40 + year career.

Teaching clients
how to take the (formerly professional) work "in house"
feels considerably different
than teaching students and assistants
who wish to become "professionals."

And as Sonny pointed out,
our media world is not,
in my opinion,
better for it.
