Please find the message below I posted earlier today on photo.net

I recently returned from a weekend one-on-one platinum printing workshop at the home of Kerik Kouklis. I wanted (in an unsolicited fashion) to recommend Kerik as a superb teacher for anyone wanting to learn this beautiful process.Not only is Kerik a wonderful artist (it was worth the very reasonable cost simply to watch him at work) but he was extremely patient, passionate about his photography and a most polite and personable host.It was quite a privelege to be there and particularly spend time with someone who was all to happy to reveal 'secrets' of his trade (no an all to common trait these days).
