Hi Frank,

I am writing you for two reasons.  First, thank you so very much for yesterday.  For the longest time I have been fearful to enter the digital world because I was so comfortable with film.  When my camera got stolen, I never had the desire to continue because that camera was almost a part of me.

The intermediate course was everything and more that it was supposed to be! Kathy's relaxed style and enthusiasm for photography really made the class very enjoyable and informative.

Dear Frank:

Thanks so much for the class on Saturday. We learned quite a bit about portraits and about photography in general.

It is really enjoyable to learn from someone who is very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.

Thanks, Steve.  I learned a great deal yesterday and had much fun.  I think the composition of the group worked well as a class.  You did a great job of working with all of us at our levels and on the concerns we had.  I think you covered an incredible amount of information and were most generous of your time.  Would love to do something like this again with you.

Hi Frank,

Your studio class was nothing short of wonderful - I learned a ton and had tons of fun.  I have a pyramid of nuggets!!  I decided a couple of weeks  ago to give raw a try, but didn't know how to use the converter.   Now I do.  Below are some photos of Mittens - she and her owners had a great time as we all did!

See you in the new year for more!

with many thanks,

Edie

Boston: Beginner

The beginner's class in Boston, with Kathy Tarantola, was great. Small size, comfortable setting and relaxed atmosphere. Kathy's approach was casual, relaxed and informal also, which helped me take in the information in a different way. I felt as if I had absorbed the knowledge rather than just 'learned' it. Thanks Kathy!

Good Evening Frank,
I was trying to crop a picture and was able to use the tool to show what I want it to be but don't know how to finalize the crop. Your help is greatly appreciated and thank you very much for sharing the picture of Jamie. She was very excited to see it. I have remembered quite a bit from class on Saturday and do remember how to zoom in on a specific subject, yippee!!!! Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to taking some more classes with you to fine tune my skills. I still have lots more to learn.
All my best,
Corey :-)

The scales have fallen from my eyes: I now (finally) understand why I should almost always be shooting in RAW. It changes everything for me. As someone who was not totally in love with my digital camera before the workshop, I am now excited and enthusiastic about shooting again. Also, the tutorial Frank gave us with masks in Photoshop alone would have been worth the price of admission.  Frank’s upbeat style,  clear explanations and willingness to go over some things multiple times meant that the new material was retained and understood and was immediately usable. Attached find two photos. One is my original which I shot Friday the day before the workshop. You can see my low tech reflector: a linen napkin. The other portrait is the one I was able to create from it on Sunday, based on what I learned on Saturday.

Thanks so much for your help regarding my enrollment in Boston Intermediate Class with Steve Dunwell. The Class was terrific! Steve was organized, energetic, and gracious. In addition to his obvious talents as a photographer, he's a terrific teacher. And, the Griffin Museum was a wonderful site in which to attend class. Thanks again for everything. A truly rewarding class!
