Featured Information
Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

This class was held at the Shaw Nature Reserve, a place I had not visited before. But I definitely will be visiting there again! This is a wonderful acreage (~5,000 acres, I’m […]
