Stephanie, I just want to let you know what a marvelous job you did during our session yesterday. I have read the manuals over and over, then did Internet research and I never could put it all together. I need a lot of practice now but I understand all the buttons and numbers. Having been a teacher for 35 years, I saw in your techniques some of the best teaching available. Keep up your enthusiasm and you will spread so much joy in the beauty of photography.

I just wanted to thank you again for our wonderful session this past Saturday. Going into it, I knew nothing about even the basics of photography. I was hoping for a program that explained the elements in an easy-to-understand manner, but was still thorough enough for me to be able to remember the correlations between each element. I purchased my camera last October and only used it in auto mode, because the picture quality was still great, but I felt that something was missing. I am so grateful to you two for the rich content and extensive explanations of the basics, I feel like I now have a strong base to expand on my knowledge of this art.
In auto mode, I felt that I was in a rut and had quit taking pictures. I am now excited again to practice and learn more about photography and my camera! Thanks so much
~ Julie
Okay, so I know you've heard this hundreds, maybe thousands of times before, but, since putting into practice what I have learned from both of you I'm excited with the photos I take. No longer are they okay. The photos, to me, are exciting. The quality from my point of view is very noticeably better and they pop. There is a vibrance they did not have before. THANK YOU both so very, very much.
