Why do I write this Blog? To Help Others Become Better Photographers

Thank you for visiting my blog.

In these posts are 20 years of passion and skill. I’ve been active in photojournalism and weddings since my first real photo job in 1992 at the Cleveland Daily Banner.

With this, my hope is to help you become a better photographer and capture the images you want. Sign up for email updates and newsletter dispatches for new blog posts in the future so I can help you with your photographic journey by helping you become a better photographer.

One of my most profound experiences in teaching came when I was adjunct professor teaching the photography course “Introduction to Photojournalism” at Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs, Colo. for their Professional Photography program.

One student said I helped them become better by thinking more behind the camera.

While there, I learned how much I love to teach. I loved seeing the faces of students light up when they realize that it’s not that difficult, or when they understand a concept better. That moment when their eyes brighten when they realize they can do this.

It is my goal with this column/blog to help others become better photographers. So feel free to ask questions. Feel free to comment. Feel free to share.

As I now live in Bellingham, Wash., with my wife Heidi, I am also available for editorial assignments, photojournalism style weddings, and portraits. I also have an offering of various workshops to help you become a better photographer. Why leave all the fun to the pros? Make your holidays and family gatherings more memorable with good photography.

These workshops start with the basics about learning your camera, what f/stops are, effects of focal length, photo walks to help you learn and practice, and introduction to file management, Lightroom, and Photoshop. There are intermediate lessons on improving your composition, getting exposure correct, and using on-camera flash. And some of my advanced workshops such as portable lighting using strobes, night photography, and advanced post-processing techniques in Lightroom or Photoshop.
