Interested in the arts since I was a young man growing up in the Napa Valley and graduating from San Francisco State University as an Art Major, I have always been drawn to photography as a way of conveying ideas for my art projects. I began teaching photography in 1981 at William C. Overfelt High School in San Jose, Ca. I have been teaching Photography for Adult Community Education for more than twenty-five years. I recently retired from full time teaching but I have been given the opportunity to continue my love of teaching.
I have taught both traditional and digital photography and enjoy doing and teaching both. The most important thing you can get out of taking pictures is it’s not the equipment that is important. It’s the thought and feelings behind the act of taking the picture that tells the story you want told.
I really enjoy taking pictures as well as teaching the “Art of Taking Better Pictures”. My goal is to provide you with the tools, techniques, resources, and experiences that will enable you to produce better images. I also want to convey to you the joy of taking pictures and how it will help you develop your own personal VISION.
With the rich visual area in the Santa Clara Valley there is much to photograph and I hope you join me in learning the “Art of Taking Better Pictures or the Magic of Night Photography”.
