    The instructor, Phil, was extremely patient and encouraging . He knew everything about the topic and taught at just the right pace to let us beginners grasp the topic and reach for just a little more information . Phil is a wonderful teacher and very personable . After I practice what Phil taught me about picture taking, I look forward to a follow-up class with him . - Elena

    Teacher (Adam) was excellent. Easy going, knowledgeable and articulate. Curriculum, definitely enough to help you get started, probably some more granular detail that might be fun. Facility - random location, a cafe in Sty Town, but worked out great given the class was very small.

    Great class that I would highly recommend for anyone who is new to photography. I learned the basics of photography and how to use my camera. The instructor was very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure we understood the concepts and were able to use the different functions of our individual cameras.
