Well, I have just completed teaching the first photography workshop at my studio. THE CREATIVE ART OF PHOTOGAPHY - For Creative People Who Are Not Necesarily Technical! It was a huge success and many who never ventured off of the Auto Mode of their cameras have discovered a whole new world of photography. I know that all the function buttons on the camera look very foreign and inhibit users to give up the SAFE/ AUTO mode to venture down an unknown path. But together the class learned about each camera function and took cotrol of their image making so they can now be picture makers instead of picture takers! In four weeks the camera became a tool to create photographs. It was a great leaning experience sharing the images that each person created from the Creative Projects. I hope all continue to use the knowledge they attained and let their imagination be the inspiration for their photography. The next workshop will be held in January so that anyone receiving a camera as a holiday gift can immediately get the knowledge they need to use their camera as a tool.
