I am the expert of beginning photography.  LOL, but true.  My day job is teaching photography to high school students 4 periods a day, and one period of AP Studio Art.  I have been a part time professional photographer for about 11 years.  Before I was a teacher and part time pro photographer, I was a Photoshop professional for about 15 years.  This is my place to share photography teaching information, gear reviews and general posts about photography.  I can get a little cranky sometimes, but my point is to give you some information in a real way without candy coating.  I try not to give you the same monotonous drivel, that's driven by the camera industry and photographers selling their brand.  I am just a guy that loves photography.  I also try to bring things to you concisely.
