The Paper Plate Gallery
About
I have loved and taught photography for 30+ years! I work with all brands and own multiple cameras: Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and have nikon, and pentax film cameras too! I have taught elementary-age kidoes to beautiful elders in wheelchairs the joy of getting great pictures! "Hell me help you" learn and enjoy getting a better understanding of your gear and making creative photo-art!
