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.

Working our camera in automatic exposure mode is easy.

It's easy to not meter light intensity.

Not paying attention to focusing modes and areas is easy.

It's easy not to control tonality using aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.  

Even though we're unhappy with our work, doing what we've been doing is easy.

Remember, easy ain't the point. The point is to challenge ourselves and grow.

Getting better is the point.

Changing what we do ain't easy, but it's worth our effort because

It's this effort that makes us better photographers.

And the best change we can make is to learn to use our camera in manual exposure mode.

When we learn to use our camera in manual exposure mode, we become the most involved in our photography.

When we get the most involved in our photography, we create intentional compositions that no one else can create.

Furthermore, if we learn to make pictures based on how we think about what we see instead of what we see, then the work we create in manual exposure mode is automatically unique.

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.
