Join me for a free Photo Webinar: Thursday, March Join me for a free Photo Webinar: Thursday, March 4th (8pm EST) - From Cities to Suburbs: How to do Street Photography No Matter Where You Are.

This free photography class seeks to broaden and inspire your definition of what street photography is and how and where it can be done.

From cities to suburbs to remote areas, street photography is just sensibility - a way of seeing - and these types of photographs can be taken anywhere and anytime.

We will cover a variety of tips, strategies, subject matter, and examples to spark this type of creativity.

It's about walking out that door and figuring out what is interesting around you, wherever you are, and particularly wherever you spend most of your time.
