Happy New Year 2012

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.

DC Photo Classes-Gift Certificates For The Photographer

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 Would Like To Buy A Gift Certificate Now!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope that you have a happy Thanksgiving holiday.

A New Registration System For Photography Classes

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.

Missing Those Back To Schools Days? Here’s A Test!

How Do You Work Your Camera?

There’s a one question poll that I put up on the Being A Better Photographer website.

Please take a moment to answer.
