About The Photographer
I have taken a few photo classes, the first one called Biological Photography through Millers University in PA . This was in the day of using film. So I was used to working with a certain speed film, and now things have changed . The second class was through National Geographic with a week long trip to Steamboat Springs in Colorado , where you had an advisor from National Geographic to critique your pictures . Both were excellent for a novice like me .
