We had a very successful class last night on Making Better Photographs!
The attendees were a mix of interesting photographers who each had a certain subject they felt passionate about.
Just a few examples: one loved to photograph barns; another birds and wildlife; another, close-up work with nature.
I received heartfelt thank-yous from everyone, so I was pleased that they felt it was worth their valuable time.
One participant said in an email the next day,
"I enjoyed your presentation at the Assumption center Thursday night. It opened my eyes to what I need and how I should approach photography in the future."
All together a great experience for all. Thank you!

I'm looking forward to presenting my "Making Better Photographs" at Assumption Cultural Center on Thursday, March 24th.
We've reserved a two-hour session from 7-9pm, so there will be plenty of time to talk about cameras and digital processes after my prepared remarks are done.
We'll go over the idea that one should "make a photograph" not "take a picture." The act of making a photograph better describes the process.
One should be actively looking at the subject and how it relates to its background, paying attention to lighting and how it reveals the subject, knowing what camera settings can be used to best advantage.
"Taking a picture" is just a grab at success. "Making a photograph" just might ensure success.
Assumption Cultural Center is at 21880 Marter Road in St. Clair Shores.
Call them at 586-779-6111 to reserve your space. $20.
