“David, You are a born, patient, teacher, a kind person, and your tour was most instructive, and most important, fun. I thank you and look forward to more photo tours.”

“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.”

“Your Safari is the BEST thing we have ever done on vacation!”

“Thank you SO MUCH for such a diversified Safari itinerary. The locations you selected for us to practice our photography were excellent. Although I am a native Washingtonian, I admit I rarely travel downtown to view all of the wonderful monuments and museums. I commuted downtown for more years than I care to remember, so it was very refreshing to view the city through the eyes of a tourist rather than a commuuter. You were very patient and shared a wealth of information with all of us, which I will be sure to practice. I am learning to trust my own judgment and not leave the camera on “automatic,” especially since its the latest and greatest in digital photography. I certainly felt I got my money’s worth from this Safari. Keep up the good work!”

“Thank you again, David for the class yesterday. It’s definitely taken away my fear, and reduced my ignorance about using F-stops and shutter speeds. I feel ready to practice now and get more proficient. I’m sure I’ll be enrolling in more of your Safaris.”
