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 who sees it.

Who'll like our photography?

We've got three scenarios to consider: nobody, somebody, and everyone.

It's unlikely that nobody will like our photography.

It's always true that somebody will like our work.

It's a pitfall to think that everyone will like our work.

We can always find the somebodies; we've gotta learn to ignore the imaginary everyone.

Our photographs are important even though not everyone will like them.

The fact that not everyone will like our work is not a reason to change what we do to try to please everyone.

The trick is to be confident in our work, regardless of our choices in the things we photograph, so our approach to our photography doesn't waver.

Trying to please everyone leads to an inconsistency in the look and feel of our work and leads to questions about our integrity as photographers.  

The important thing is that we like our work because since we have a good understanding of camera operation, composition, and light, our approach to our work has the integrity it needs to make pictures of a wide range of subject matter and still have the look and feel that can only be distinctively ours.

If we're photographers with the integrity to be true to our approach, the somebodies who like our work will recognize the importance of what we do.

More ways to study and practice photography with me are below.

Call me if you need help determining the best course for you.

I'll help you be a better photographer—study and practice photography with me. 

Currently scheduled classes are below.

Smaller classes mean better learning, so class sizes are limited to 5 participants plus me.

But smaller classes also mean spots fill up quicker, so sign up soon. 

And what if the timing doesn't work for you in any of my scheduled group classes? Private in-person lessons suited to your schedule are always an option.

And remember, we learn and improve by doing, so practice making at least one picture daily.
