    I just wish I had more time to take all these classes.”

  4. “We had a great time at your Digital Photo Academy class in Philadelphia on Saturday and wanted to let you know that the pace, style of instruction and the location was perfect for us. We enjoyed the beginning discussion of composition and the references to different perspectives while we walked the streets and the Ben Franklin bridge. Thoroughly enjoyed the end of the class in the coffee shop showing you our photos.

    This was Colin’s first time talking a photo class and he really enjoyed it.

    Thanks again,”

    – Glen & Colin
