One can go for the latest gadgets and get super technology training and become a great technician in the current art. If that's what one wants, fine. But, if one wants a critical education in the photographic arts, with which one can evaluate the technologies they might encounter, then choose a fine University in which to study. RIT is certainly one of those.
Sorry for the stilted prose but I wanted it to be in the "third person."

Unfortunately high end stuff like what Attenborough and teams such as Oxford Scientific Films undertake is out of the question in terms of getting involved with at RIT. We do not have the equipment or facilities for such work. The Imaging and Photographic Technology program provides a good and diverse technological background and foundation to its students but there is no "state-of-the-art" imaging capability here.
