“Many thanks for the great day. You have the ability to talk to each person naturally at their level of ability and knowledge.”

“I have been showing off my photographs since I returned and singing your praises. I certainly wish I was a bit closer to DC so I could do more of your Safaris on a regular basis. But I will return! Thanks for a wonderful day and the terrific advice.”

“I just wanted to let you know that I am now in Paris pursuing a full-time diploma in professional photography at the Speos Paris Photographic Institute.I would like to put it on record that the Washington Photo Safari sessions that I took hugely influenced my drastic career shift. The modules taught me concepts in exposure value and white balance, and these alone led to significant improvement in technique. Through proper technique, I was able to discover my creative potential and convince myself that I need to take the big plunge. All the photos that comprised my portfolio for admission to Speos had a touch of Washington Photo Safari in them. I have recommend WPS to all my friends who say they want to explore concepts in photographic technique without making huge upfront investments in time and money.”

“My husband and I took your digital photo class recently at the Scottsdale Art Center. What a fabulous experience! My husband said he learned more in that hour and a half than in an entire semester he took at a local college. As for me—all I ever wanted was to point and shoot. But now? A whole new world has opened up for me. I’m not at all sure it was seemly for a 68-year-old grandmother to be crawling around on her belly at the Greek Fest trying to get good angles, and my thighs are still sore, but who cares? I had a grand time.”

“Thanks again for two wonderful photo Safaris. Because of you, the quality of my photographs has increased many fold. Perhaps what I enjoyed most about your classes was the great deal of attention you paid to each individual person in our group. Despite the vast range in experience and skill levels represented, you were able to guide us all with a great aura of professionalism.”
