I had never attended anything like this before and it was everything I hoped it would be. John is an amazing and very patient teacher.
He really wants to help people learn and has unfathomable patience and understanding.
John is a true professional and was very patient in answering my many questions. He worked hard in guiding me to some of the most scenic views on the island.
John took the time to understand where we were at with our cameras and shaped the session around our abilities and interests. We came away not only knowing more about our camera, we were able to see the park in a different way.
