Ron is an excellent instructor! He was very friendly and patient with all of the students and covered all of the important features on my digital camera.

I LOVED that Russ did not just talk...he made the class interactive and MADE us interact in a very non-threatening way! It was obvious he knows what he's talking about and gave us wonderful tips to improve our photographs...not just "pictures". It was great...and made us THINK about what we were doing. The venue was very comfortable and conducive to learning. I would highly recommend him! -

Digital 101 in a Day
As I said in the previous review request, Carlos was THE best instructor I have ever had. I always had such a hard time understanding the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO. He walked us thru everything in terms that made perfect sense to me. Unlike other beginning photography classes I have taken, Carlos started from ground zero even though a few in the classroom were more advanced. Loved, loved, loved the class! I even signed up for the online version this morning! Great job!
