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.

If we're new to photography, we may find ourselves frequently annoyed.

I remember I was.

It's not that our camera or photography is annoying; it's that we get annoyed because we don't know what we're doing and rely on automatic exposure modes to make the pictures we want.

The problem is that the camera doesn't know what we want, so its algorithm creates a picture that has nothing to do with us and what we want.

And when our pictures don't come out as imagined, annoyance arises.

We can continue working this way and learn to control our annoyance.

Or we can learn what we're doing and how to control the camera to get the compositions we want.

The difference is that an annoyance is easier for us to come to grips with.

But our work remains out of our understanding and control.

On the other hand, we can invest the energy to learn to work our camera in manual exposure mode and gain the control and understanding that'll remove the annoyance. 

The Introduction To Photography class starts soon. 
  
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.
