Beginning Digital begins New Year

December 30, 2019

Students come from farther than you think.

New Years  always begin with new cameras and new classes, so 2020 will be no exception. Several students have already enrolled in this class that starts Saturday, January 11th and runs for 4 weeks. This one is always great fun since people are eager to learn and prove it. The interest level of their images goes straight up from one week to the next and the questions just keep coming. After the first week of image review, the anxiety level drops to a more normal level once students are convinced that we like every image–it’s just a case of why.

Take a moment to tell a friend that may have an interest in using a camera for photography that this is the place to spend Saturday mornings. As most of you know, there’s happiness to be found each week, and that’s before we get to Browniefest. As you seasoned veterans know, there are

There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
