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.

Nothing stays the same.

Even something that appears not to move changes.

We get frustrated when we feel we aren't progressing fast enough.

We gotta stop that frustration because it doesn't help.

Here's a suggestion.

A lot of times, we'll point to the speed of our change instead of its direction.

So, instead of paying attention to the speed of our change, pay attention to which direction we're progressing in.

Planning the direction of our change is the hard work we gotta do before we do the rest of the hard work.

In other words, what kind of photographers do we wanna be, and how do we get there?

And again, don't worry about the speed of the progression; pay attention to the direction of the progression.

Worthy and difficult work takes time to progress.

Becoming a better photographer falls into the category of worthy and challenging work.

We should go easy on ourselves when it comes to the speed of our change.

As long as we're progressing and know more than we knew before studying and practicing regularly, we'll progress at our own speed.

I progress as quickly as a turtle.

As they say, slow and steady wins the race.

But remember, learning photography ain't a race.

We should take all the time we need to become the best photographers we can.

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.
