What Was Your Favorite Part Of The Class?: Relaxed teaching style of both our instructors 

As a somewhat new student of photography, I was a little worried that I would feel inept. Not at all. Jason conducts classes that are so much fun, casual and yet I always learn something interesting. Highly recommend for anyone from newby to expert
