Classes & Dinky Cameras

Ok, several folks have asked for photography classes, so we’re going to schedule some in the evenings and on the weekend.  In Galveston, I had done a basic, intermediate and advanced class, with a beginners digital darkroom class as well.  I’ll re-visit my class curriculum and see if it still fits, but I think so.

And for those of you with small cameras?  Don’t worry – this class is for you as well.  You don’t always have to have a professional camera to end up with a fantastic image that you can put on canvas and hang on your wall.  I was out driving once with my wife and didn’t have my camera with me.  She however, had her little 3.2 megapixel point and shoot camera.  Well, the rule is – GET THE PHOTO!  Try and compose, expose, and make sure it is in focus, and then worry about the other issues when you get it into the digital darkroom.

Well, that image is a 24″x36″ photograph that is part of my black and white collection.  You can look at it all you want, but you’ll never know that it was taken with a ‘dinky’ camera, and not film or a higher end digital.  This is the point I want to make to all of you – you can use what you have and take great pictures!

Stay tuned for class dates and times.
