Al Wildey Photography
About
I have taught analog and digital photography classes for 25 years. In 1989 I was a beta-tester for Adobe Photoshop. And, I have experience working with cameras from photomicroscopy to 8" x 10" view cameras.
I get excited when my students get excited! I'm honored to assist students on their journey to becoming better photographers (or, as I like to say, effective visual communicators). Seeing students progess and accomplishments is the real reward for teaching.
