I definitely agree that we should leave brain surgery with a hockey stick to the NHL players (sic). Let photographers focus on fixing negatives. But seriously, leaving aside the four puns on the proceeding line, and back on the topic of visual discipline: I wonder why one would want to discipline one's own or another's vision? Shouldn't we all, and especially students, be trying to break free of external arbitrary disciplines and learn our own way of seeing? I think the essential question is not whether zooms can be used to teach visual discipline, but whether zooms can help a beginner, or a pro, to see old things in new ways.
