Wow. These are amateurs????? They look like professionals to me. Watch out SI shooters, you have some competition.

Great instructor.

Michael’s shots of swimmers are exciting and enthralling. I would hope a book would be in his future.

I’ve known Bear since we were kids in junior high school when he was “class clown.” When he thought it was funny to “steal” and hide my shoes when I slipped them off under my desk in class. Everyone knew Barry because he was a force to be reckoned with. He carries so much hope and light in his heart that it just shines through him physically. He was a photographer for our high school newspaper as well as the yearbook. In fact, I can’t remember a time when he didn’t have his camera around his neck. He is a natural mentor as he was always there to give me guidance, direction and hope (whether I wanted it or not) and to this day, I am deeply grateful for his friendship and proud to say, “I know that guy.” His work is just so engaging.

Hi Jenn–

He is a very special guy and I’m lucky to have had him in class way back when.

Bear is such a light and a presence, he has touched so many lives with his images and his being. I’m not sure where I would be today had I not walked into his first PJ class at Metro. In many ways he is my hero, but in even more ways he is a dear friend.

He is brilliant with the tools, and the vision he creates is mastery. I only hope to spend the rest of my days learning new things. Thank you for sharing this! J

In the tackle picture the second is the one for me. The facial expression makes the picture for me.

In the two pictures of the tackle the second picture with the‘ facial expression ‘ is just great.

Well, that was a very interesting lecture last night at the camera club of the Washington School of Photography. Also thank you for your critique on my photo of a heron in a Potomac side pool. I am preparing for a photoshoot with a charming young lady; it will be my second shoot to make portraits. I am a bit nervous about it. If you are interested, I could put some results on your blog with the aim to get some comments. I have no idea, however, how to do it. Nevertheless, I wish you much success with the blog
