Things are still a bit messy on the blog as I imported it from my old website. Links may be broken. I’m working on it! Thanks for your patience.
Shoot in automatic mode and keep things simple
All too often when I'm teaching people photography, they take the little knowledge they have and then go out and shoot the hardest possible subjects. Then they come back to class defeated and disappointed and want to know why their photos didn't turn out so well.
Photography is like skateboarding
I have a confession to make: I was a teenage skateboarder (and in my mind I still am). I was probably more into skateboarding than photography. I read all the skateboarding magazines, and had tear sheets and posters of skateboarding plastered all over my bedroom walls. I practiced 360's every spare moment, and had contests with my brothers on who could do the most 360's in a row.
