Original Photography And Excellent Photography Courses and Classes
Do you find photography interesting? If ya do then you’re in the right place. I’m Sam D’Amico and this is my website. I’m a professional photographer and professional photography teacher.
While you’re here, take some time, look around and make some comments.
In short, this website is about selling photographs as prints, licensing rights managed stock photography and photography classes.
Specifically, as a professional photographer, I sell prints of my work and license my photographs as rights managed stock photography. In addition, as a professional photography teacher, I post information about my photography classes and I write blog posts based on conversations that happen during my photography classes.
I’m not sure how you wound up here but I’m glad that you’re here.

Does a Better Camera Mean Better Photographs, and Does a Better Camera Make Us Better Photographers?
Better Camera, Better Photographs? Maybe and maybe not! Does a Better Camera Mean It’s Really Better? Remember, a camera is a tool that we use to record light. Nothing more. Nothing Less. Some of us might think that a better camera is… easy to carry and that we always have with us.

Thinking About Entering A Photography Contest?
Think Twice. Some contests take a substantial part, if not all, of the copyright to your work. This is good for the contest organizers, but it is bad for photographers who submit their work.
