WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS INSTRUCTOR" I kept the "tools" sheet in my head when I went out to shot my brother's Alcatraz Tri yesterday. I've shot this event at least 3 times, tearing around on a bicycle to cover as much of the course as possible. I would say that I'm still digesting some of the things we covered in class, and I don't know if it's coincidence or just experience, but yesterday, I think I captured some of my best images at the event. -Darryl Fong "Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much." -Ed Kneler "Jessica, I want to thank you so much for all your help during that session. Ever since the class met, I have learned a lot about photography. I didn't know much before the class but since then, it has opened the door to the basics and I've been reading so much into it at the library. I just got my first SLR this week. I enrolled in a beginning to photography class at Laney college in the fall (i need it to be the prereq for almost all the other fun photography classes offered). Thanks again." -Eric Hon "Thanks for the camera control sheet. I really did learn a lot and now I'm re-reading my manual and it makes more sense!" -Cindy McCool "Thanks, I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot about SLRs. I'm definitely going to buy one!" -Shannon McMahon "It was a good class and I learned more and retained more. When I went down stairs I was taking pictures of Lori framed in your doorway with that light and a fill flash. Look at me talking in jargon." -Cindy McCool "Thank you for all the information. Both Ashley, my granddaughter, and I picked up a lot of new ideas and you certainly improved my knowledge of our new cameras. We will now be looking for a class requiring a weekend trip." -Sandy Jones "I really enjoyed your class last night. Although I am very new at digital SLR a lot of the information I have read or heard over the few months started becoming a little clearer and making a little more sense to me last night. Thank you for taking the time you did explaining it so it made sense to me." -Nick Boffa "I really enjoyed your class and can't wait to play around with the camera with my new knowledge. I already confirmed my registration for the Photonite group... Thanks for sending it to me. Take care and see you soon at the next event." -Sofie Pietrantonio "Thank you Jessica, I enjoyed the class. It was very informative, and the sharing of information and critiques were quite useful." -Jim Wong "Hi Jessica, I had a great time and learned a great deal. It was fun and informative and I really enjoyed "picking" your brain. You're a wealth of knowledge." -Randy Miramontez "I had great time in your class, AAA plus. I learned a great deal about photographing people, which I need to do more of. I look forward to the photonite email." -Tom Ho "Thank you Jessica for an awesome class! I really enjoyed it and thought you did a great job. You were very personable, knowledgeable and articulate and it was all-around a great day for me. I took some time today to play with the camera features you showed me and I feel I have taken a big step to being much more comfortable with my camera, my creative approach to taking photos, and how to archive and edit them in post. Thanks again for a job well done!" -Lisa Wood "I really enjoyed your class on sat. I also appreciate your walking with me for some time, giving suggestions, and letting me take pictures of you. That was very cool. If you do not mind, I will show you my work as I practice and hopefully learn more." -Manish Tandon " Jessica, Thank you so much for your note. I definitely enjoyed the class. It was exactly what I was hoping for. At the end, however, just before I got locked out of the room after the wind caught the door on my way to the bathroom, I was on my last mental "leg". So much to absorb, I actually went to bed with visions of shutter speed numbers, etc. dancing in my head. "-Lee Fisher " Thanks Jessica, I really enjoyed the class last night it was very informative for me and finally the lights are coming back on. I will definitely get to know my new camera and get the DSLR familiar in this old brain my mind. I'm very excited to be taking pictures again for I have put it aside for quite a few years.
