As you may or may not know, I teach at a PPA affiliate school. The school is held each May in Cape May, NJ. The School is the MARS school. The Mid-Atlantic Regional School, MARS for short.
My friend, Martin Tremarco teach the class as a team. The class is a basic photography class covering everything from exposure control to composition to lighting and more.
A few day ago I receive an email from one of the students who had just finished a trip to Turkey.
Here is her email:
Hi John,
Just wanted to give you a shout out. I saw--too late--your webinar that was offered by
MARS. It looked great. Sorry I missed it.
I recently returned from a trip to Turkey and have to tell you again, thank you for all that you taught me at the week long class at Cape May this past May. I actually knew how to make the adjustments I needed when working the "triangle". The guess work was at a minimum. I was sooooo happy. And I shot in RAW for the first time! I have just begun to go through my photos and am surprisingly happy with the results. I have learned so much over the past year, but the ability to really work my camera is the best! I actually was able to help someone on the trip get an inside shot without a flash as her images were too dark! Who would have believed it!
OK---hope you are well and that the business is doing great also. Take care.
Karen
This is one of the reason I love what I do. I have been given the opportunity to teach the skills I have learned and developed (photography joke...) over the years. When I receive an email like this, WOW! What a wonderful thing to find in my in box one morning. To know what I'm teaching really helped someone is fantastic.
Any way a HUGE thank you to Karen for sharing her experience with me.
If anyone is interested in MARS below is our class flyer. Feel free to call the school, check out the website or call me, 732-866-1709.
