As I was catching up on some long overdue replies to comments, I remembered how much I enjoyed working as a photography teacher.
My goal as a photography teacher is to help you to be a better photographer.
In the process of helping you to be a better photographer I also become a better photographer.
My thanks to everyone for helping to make my 2011 a good year. I hope I have done the same for you.
I wish everyone a happy 2012.
Sam
Instead of more camera gear, get the photographer in your life a gift certificate for some excellent photography instruction so they can learn to use the camera and gear that they already have.
The photographer who receives the gift certificate could apply it toward any type of photography instruction that Sam D’Amico offers.
I hope that you have a happy Thanksgiving holiday.
A couple of weeks ago the shopping cart I used on my website to accept payments started acting flaky.
If you’ve tried registering for a class within that time period and could not register, it was because the cart was not performing correctly.
This happened a few times before. It seemed that whenever the folks who host my websites performed upgrades, the cart would go belly-up. The problem seemed to me that the cart resided on my website.
I dumped the cart and am now using a new payment system that does not reside on my website.
I’ve already gotten gotten a couple of registrations for upcoming classes through the new system.
If you register for a class, please let me know what you think of the new registration system for photography classes.

The recent nip in the air has prompted me to create a small gallery of colorful seasonal pictures. The gallery, titled Autumn Leaves, consists of seven photographs.
Six of the photographs feature leaves colored by the fall weather. The seventh picture is of a leave that has browned from the early stages of decay and is lying on a bed of moss.
Visit the gallery to buy a print, license the use of an image or just take a look.
In general, Sam D’Amico offers three types of photography classes and instruction in Washington DC. (more…)
Just to get into the spirit of things I’ve made an online version of a basic photography test that I give to students in my photography classes.
If you’d like to take it, you’ll be able to access it via my Being A Better Photographer website.
There’s a one question poll that I put up on the Being A Better Photographer website.
Please take a moment to answer.
I’m currently developing a three hour photojournalism class.
I’ll post it as soon as I’m done. It should be online and available for registration within a few days.

Recently I implemented a new way to receive comments from students. Please visit this page if you’d like to see comments that were made by students prior to the implementation of the new system.
