“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!”

“Saturday’s Safari was the closest I’ve taken to a photography class. The simple tips on adjusting white balance, ISO settings and trick metering have—and I mean this—revolutionized my approach to taking pictures. I look forward to learning more. Thanks, again, and be well.”

“I cannot say enough about how thoroughly delightful the Buenos Aires trip was, and what a great leader Eddie is. He had a wonderful knack for taking each of us at whatever level we are and helping us move our photography to the next level. I had mentioned that I wanted to learn more about how to photograph people, and he did a great job of showing us how to approach people and get their cooperation without offending them. Of course, his lifelong knowledge of Buenos Aires was invaluable to help us know just where to go and the best time of day to photograph each location.  He seems to know everyone in the city!”

“The Safari was absolutely outstanding! Melanie is great. She covered a lot of material and in many ways. She told us about the techniques, then helped us to execute them, and then reinforced what we learned by asking questions about how we would handle different situations. She is very good.”

“My wife and I have been teachers for 12 years now and we are both very impressed with your style of instruction. Many of the folks I have met in photography talk down to you as soon as they realize you are ‘just an amateur.’ You, on the other hand, were so supportive and made everyone feel welcome. I can’t wait for another Safari! There is only so much you can learn from a book, but experiencing it on the spot trumps all else.”
