Joe photo’s monumental tour of London
I LOVE teaching photography, but I hate being anxious, feeling unprepared and incompetent.
Tracey Harper's Alphabet Soups
During the Thinking Outside the Box lecture, I instructed the class on how to see their surroundings with a fresh set of eyes. One of the ways that this is achieved is to create Alphabet Soup in everyday occurrences, or in the surroundings you are in.
Lifeboats on Call
Everybody in our neighbourhood, with its extra-strong TV aerials and fully-nailed roof tiles, is well aware of the destructive power of the sea and wind. With it comes danger, and with danger comes lifeboats, tasked with rescuing the imperilled, unlucky and downright foolhardy from the clutches of the deep!
Monte Zucker A Yucatan Story
Who Teaches the Teacher? I’ve often heard it said that the teacher learns from his students. Such has certainly been the case for me. My Photoshop guru, Eddie Tapp, was in my classes years ago when he was first becoming a photographer in Dallas, Texas. Now, I study with him every time that I get a chance to attend one of his five-day classes or to watch him even for a few moments at a convention appearance. It’s the only way in which I can try to stay abreast of some of the techniques that he has developed with each successive edition of Photoshop. I use at least a few of the techniques which he has taught me on almost every single one of my photographs.

Studio thoughts - David Anthony Williams
I’m going to share my experience of a small studio. Obviously, if you plan on a ‘get-em-in, get-em-out’ studio – your choices and needs will be different. And I can’t help you there.
That Old World Feeling
One of my passions is to travel. Teaching Photoshop has allowed me to visit many places around the world. I will usually add a few days onto my schedule, allowing time to photograph.
Vittoriosa - Joe Smith
Vittoriosa, or as it’s more commonly known, Birgu, is a walled town to the south of Malta. It is a city of exceptional historical, artistic and architectural interest. Its history is intimately linked with Fort St Angelo whose impregnable walls offered safety to this old medieval, maritime city.

Photo Quote: What I feel is that the picture-taking process, anyway a greater part of it, is an intuitive thing. You can't go out and logically plan a picture, but when you come back, reason then takes over and verifies or rejects whatever you've done. So that's why I say that reason and intuition are not in conflict--they strengthen each other. - Wynn Bullock
