Your choice of words are very accurate. With understanding and knowledge comes freedom, liberation and empowerment. With the understanding of how to work your camera in manual mode and a basic understanding of photography; You are now free to create whatever type of photograph that you want. By working in manual mode you are liberated from the constraints and limitations of automatic exposure. You are now empowered by your imagination and knowledge. You're suggestion is noted and I'm happy that you enjoyed the class. Sam Thank you for your comments Garvey.

There are a lot of bits and pieces when it comes to photography and although they are all helpful you, as the individual photographer, need to figure out how to apply those bits and pieces to your own process as a photographer. Like me, you seem happy at the idea of spending less time on the computer. It was good working with you Glenn. Hi Glenn,

It has freed me from the servitude of automatic exposure and thrust me into the realm of spot metering and manual exposure where real photography resides. If I had to make one suggestion, it might be perhaps that Sam bring a film camera to the class, to show to the very beginners how a camera diaphragm opens and closes with different f-stops. Because it may be difficult to understand—-in the abstract—-that the higher the f-stop number, the smaller the aperture, etc. I thoroughly enjoy the class and my classmates. --Garvey Sam D’Amico’s class was liberating and empowering.
