He would hold private classes out of his home for those looking for more than the college curriculum provided. Believe me, for a small group of us that were privileged to know Paul, we got more, much more than 2 years at Humber could ever have delivered. Paul knew the power of the still image better than most and his teachings echo within me to this very day. He was a true inspiration to those that knew him.<br />Thank you for this.Steve Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975416078255909953.post-51574699552648709012011-11-09T13:48:44.206-05:002011-11-09T13:48:44.206-05:00I was a student of Paul's at Ryerson the first...I was a student of Paul's at Ryerson the first year he taught there (many years ago!). Paul was a wonderful person and inspiring teacher. My 4th year at Rye was my most valuable because of him. Thank you for an excellent article.Frank Shefmannoreply@blogger.com
