So you got a new DSLR and your not sure how to use it; have no fear, these classes are a laid back approach to the basics that will give you experience in many different settings. 

George's amazing photos have graced local papers, magazines, television and social media.  We're sure you've enjoyed his photography somewhere during your day or bumped into him while he was photographing events around the county. George is a local, self-taught photographer with patience, and a great eye, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty around us.  George is offering one-day sessions addressing different photography subjects to help you become more comfortable with your camera and it's settings and to take better photos.  Participants can sign up for one class or all 7, but we ask that you begin with the Introduction to Photography class as it forms the building blocks for future classes.
