Testimonials

I really enjoyed the lecture every week and then having homework that supported the lesson taught. Mike was great at explaining the concepts. Every week I would have an “Ah ha” mooment when another concept clicked. The pictures I am able to take now are so much better then anything I was taking before. — Sarah Brand (Digital Photography 100, February 2012)

Mike explains things very clearly and is extremely patient. He always has a kind word to say and is a wealth of knowledge! — Ashley Coward (Photographer’s Digital Workflow, February 2012)

The skill practice progression was well thought out and provided sequential learning opportunities. I felt like there was lots of time for questions and interaction with the instructor. — Mary Theal (Portraits & Flash Photography, February 2012)

I had a great time on this excursion!  You were there to help and answer any questions we had.  I would recommend your company to anyone I talk to interested in photography. — Brandy McMaster (Bear Photography Field Trip – October 2011)

The guide, Mike, was really knowledgable and experienced.  He knew where to take us and how we should behave around bears.  He showed a respect for the animals and the environment and an enthusiasm for nature photography that was contagious.  He was very patient with us and encouraging. — Barbara Burns (Bear Photography Field Trip – October 2011)

Mike was great!  We went over everything we needed to.  Being able to use the knowledge in the workshop was extremely helpful. — Lisa Kaercher (Photography for Beginners, October 2011)

The size of the workshop is great – it allows attendees to get the help specific to their needs. — Fern Spackman (Photographer’s Digital Workflow, August 2011)

The workshop was exactly as advertised, for beginners who want to “break out of automatic mode.”  There was no expectation of prior experience, we started right at square 1, which made a comfortble learning environment for us true beginners.  The class was not an information-overload, the amount of material was manageable.  Well-explained, with lots of structured practice time. — Theresa Leask (DSLR Photography: Level 1, August 2011)

I enjoyed the course very much.  Your material gave me a way better understanding of the total process that will be invaluable in the years ahead. I thought the print was a neat gift and something to remember the experience. — Bill  Pettinger (Photographer’s Digital Workflow, August 2011)

It was a great course and it got me excited about photography again.  It was great to learn how to use certain functions of the DSLR.  I knew them on my film SLR but to apply them to my DSLR was great.  – Kathy Stadler (DSLR Photography: Level 2, July 2011)

I liked that we had specific assignments, had opportunities to sit, think, and play with the things we had learned about, and that we were able to see our photos on the big screen at the end of the day. — Erin Beulah (DSLR Photography: Level 1, July 2011)

I liked how well-informed the instructor was and how those of us who did not have DSLR camera were still able to get a lot of value from the course and did not in any way feel we had inferior cameras. — Rosemary Wright (Photography for Beginners, July 2011)

I  liked that it started with an overview followed by an opportunity to put it into practice.  Having the concepts explained helped me figure out what to do. — Robin Farr (Photography for Beginners, June 2011)

I liked that you helped me with my specific camera.  I learned how to use functions that I hadn’t been able to figure out on my own.  – Connie Izard (Photography for Beginners, June 2011)

I  like that the course is very “hands-on” and has a small number  of people per instructor. — Jarrod McKenna (DSLR Photography: Level 1, April 2011)
