These emails come with the intent of helping you be a better photographer. But if you're tired of hearing from me, unsubscribe.

And if you want more photography stuff to read, there's a place on the interwebs where past emails I wrote are stored. You'll find 'em in the "Newsletter Hub."

Remember, I'd like to know what you want to know about photography. So, if you have any questions, email me at sam@samdamico.com. And for what it's worth. When you send me an email, unless someone's lookin' over my shoulder, I'm the only one that sees it.

Hello, .

We tend not to feel inspired to photograph the seemingly ordinary things we see daily.

We tend to overlook the ordinary in search of something extraordinary.

If we take a moment to look closer at the ordinary, we’ll see its extraordinariness.

It helps when we look at the ordinary more closely and with the eyes and mind of a photographer. 

When we notice the texture, shape, colors, and context in which whatever we see exists, we'll see the ordinary as extraordinary. 

When we see something extraordinary in the ordinary, it's a good idea to photograph how we see it and think about it. 

The best part is that we can use whatever camera we have.  

It doesn't matter whether we use the camera on our phone or a camera that allows for more camera operation and composition choices.

We can do this with anything, anytime, anywhere. 

Incorporating this activity thoughtfully into our photography studies and practicing raises our visual awareness and vocabulary, increases our photography and camera operation skills, and allows us to find visual inspiration in whatever we see.

Of course, the more we understand our craft, the better our pictures will be.

The Introduction to Photography class starts soon; taking it as a group class or a series of Private Lessons will help you photograph the ordinary extraordinarily.

Do you need to learn to use your camera or brush up on some skills and techniques, especially if you want to be ready to take pictures and record those holiday moments?

I've scheduled Introduction to Photography and Getting to Know Your Camera classes.

Since class sizes are limited to five participants, it's a good idea to reserve your spot as soon as possible.

If you need a different schedule, there's always Private Lessons.
