It's said I am incredibly patient, fun to learn from, and knowledgeable about my trade of 24+ years - photography.

I love everything about photography, and love teaching it even more. Giving others a piece of the joy I experience is incredibly satisfying.

Find someone you are immediately comfortable with, who is aware of different learning styles - and can accomodate those! Hands-on, Verbal, Visual, etc!
