I once tried to figure out how many photography students I have had in 27 years of teaching and the number gets a little scarey. Just at Highland, I think I was averaging about 200 students a year for 15 years... you can see what I mean. There were still 12 years teaching in Chicago and then in Granite School District when I first moved to Utah. I also had 12 or 14 semesters at Salt Lake Community College.
I do know about at least 2 of my students who have gone on to be photo teachers. Their students would be my grand-students. There are several of my students with whom I have reconnected as adults and we have become great friends.
It has been a great career... I think we mostly had fun, didn't we?
I would love to hear from any of you out there.
