For someone like me, who previously used my digital camera on all automatic settings and was fearful of the "unknowns" my camera had to offer (always afraid I might touch some mysterious button by mistake), I find myself now in this wonderful place...feeling totally at ease with my camera and having the time of my life exploring and finding my own personal style.

With his wonderful sense of humor and comfortable way about him, he lightens the classes up whenever needed and makes sure that everyone "gets it." Mike cares about his students and his concern and follow through with each person is truly impressive. With the personal attention he gives, these classes go far beyond what a standard photo class could ever offer.

I have rediscovered my passion for photography through my experience with the Creative Eye Workshops and am looking forward to continuing on under Mike's tutelage for years to come.

I will definitely take more classes. Mike was personable, easy-going and made everyone feel good about their level of knowledge and ability to learn the techniques. Great and energetic instructor.

I want you to know that it was quite a learning experience for me in your Photography classes. Like many people, I have been doing travel photography and have taken good pictures. I came to you to learn to take Great Pictures. I learned what makes good picture Great. As they say "The more you know, you find out how little you know," so I am begining.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CAMERA is a must for anyone starting out. Because I already had a little experience, I felt there was quite a bit repetition. But, it forced me to use some of the features that I was not using enough.

The MAKE GREAT PICTURES NOW composition class gave me so many angles that I have not found in the books I have read.

COMPLETE EXPOSURE was the ultimate in taking control of the camera in different challenging situations. I now understand how the camera sees things and its limitations.

Overall it was a great experience. I loved your personal email guidance to the questions as they came up.

With regards,

Just wanted to take a moment and drop you a line to say "Thanks."

I found your Exposure teaching techniques very useful; You helped me see things in a different light. (Pun intended.) I have read a half dozen books on photography, and none were able to explain the fundamentals of proper exposure like you were.

I am certainly not a master photographer yet, but now I have a much clearer understanding of correct exposure and how to achieve it. I am happy to say that I'm no longer afraid to use the manual settings on my camera.
