“Arnold Zageris first came to me as a student in a Cibachrome color printing workshop at the Maine Photographic Workshop in the summer of 1989.  It was immediately evident that his photography was advanced beyond any student I had ever encountered. He had clearly mastered the techniques involved in using the large format (4 x5 ) camera and exposing colour transparency films.  I was shocked to hear that he only exposed one sheet at each scene to control expenses yet, all were exposed impeccably.  Beyond technique the quality of the imagery itself was outstanding.
