“Chris is a "natural" when it comes to teaching - he really thought everything out - from his slide show to picking out the exhibits to photograph to knowing how to not overwhelm everyone with his obvious camera knowledge!  I had a great time and learned so much!!

I would recommend this class to anyone, and would even sign up for it again myself!!”
