I am delighted to announce the opening of registration for my new photo workshop series, Creating Heirlooms. The next workshop will take place January 24th and 26th at the Gallery at the Old Stone Church in Downtown Cleveland. Click here to register.
Before the baby arrives, while the kids or grand-kids are young, any time you realize time’s fleetingness… be sure to make time to learn the basics of photography. The ability to meaningfully document the early days of your child’s life will become priceless. That’s the funny thing about time – you can’t go back. So, learn to capture your shot going forward, and you’ll always have photos to cherish.
This workshop is specifically geared towards expecting parents, current parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other camera owners who want to learn to use their DSLR to the max, and have some creative fun, as well. If you own a camera with manual settings, and want to get yourself off of “auto,” this is the course for you!
