    Alan is a good photographer and a good teacher: smart, pleasant, organized, knows his material. Right away bat he informed us that we would spend the day shooting in full manual mode, a plunge into the deep end for some of us, but exactly the push we needed to work at being better photographers. It was a productive and enjoyable day. I would seriously consider taking more classes at BKC.

    VERY Informative. Alan Winslow is a great teacher - patient, personable, interested in making the course as practical for each student as possible.

    Kathy was wonderful!!! She really ensured that we were on the right track with our cameras, gave us enough time to practice, and above all answered all of our questions. She even stayed a bit late to answer of few of my lingering questions that I had. I would definitely recommend taking this class!
  • Field Guide I: The Camera

    Informative. Fun. Engaging. Learned so many things about my camera, its settings, easy tips, and how to use it more creatively and effectively. My instructor was great.
