Yes. Apologies. I understand this is GD, not 'noobs'. But this strikes me as the best place for this query. I'm 50. Been making a living with a camera for 25 years. News. My body's trashed and the business is, with a few notable exceptions, in contraction. Which means it's reinvention time. I like camerawork or I wouldn't have stuck with it for 25 years. Now I'm contemplating my next steps, and think I would enjoy, and do well, by upping my skill set substantially into the DP realm. The way my mind works, I have to be very hands on. I need to assemble the camera. Set it up. Finesse the glass. The rig. The media. Light. Shoot. Review. Fix what I got wrong. Push through workflow. Cut. Deliver. Train my hands, train my eye, find the gotchas, find the fixes. I'd like to find an academic and/or workshop-based program where I can do that, with top-shelf gear both film but mainly digital. With smart, world-wise instructors who can help me connect, and connect the dots. So. In a perfect world, anywhere in the world, money is no object, where would you go, would you go at all or do...? (I've been to Rockport a couple times, Kodak gave me their cinematography workshop. It's been ages Oh and I speak Spanish)
