I wouldn't be considered a full-fledged photography teacher - I teach a weekly class through our city's program. Most of my students are beginners (whew!!), and my main concern is putting a match to their kindling of interest in photography. I'm hoping the off shoot will be that more students will sign up for more advanced classes and continue their journey into the world of photography.

I learn much more from the students than I can teach them, but the situation seems to be copasetic - they get excited about photography and continue practicing and learning. (I know this because I see their entries in the local fair competitions.)

We all have fun in the classes, and I continue teaching because it is a learning process for me.

A great question!  Thank you for asking.
