[Leica] DVD for teaching photography?

[bdcolen at comcast.net (B. D. Colen)]

I think the photography idea is very doable, as long as you take it well
beyond shooting medicine. I would, not, however, screw around with doctor's
talking about medicine; think about it - the photo shows one split second in
a six hour operation, so what's the doctor going to do - talk a student
through brain surgery?

But the idea of an instructional audio text for a still photo slide show is
very intriguing. What I'd do is go find some students working on video
projects, and suggest that you and they collaborate. See what you can put
together, and then take it to a commercial place.
