Comments from former students:

“This class was terrific. With Steve’s knowledge of photography and a small class size, I learned more here than I have in other classes I have taken over the years. I finally understand the great importance of lighting and depth of field. The assignments were also very helpful in understanding techniques of camera use.” —Frank Damon
