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.

Studying and practicing our photography every day is undoubtedly the best way to improve our photography.

It helps us understand camera operation, composition, and light.

No need to make it a big production or wait for the light to be just right.

It's as simple as seeing whatever gets our attention and making a picture anytime and anywhere.

Even the camera on our phone will do.

Why do this?

Because whenever we photograph something, we're engaging in the process of making a picture; whenever we engage in the process of making a picture, we're learning something about photography and about us as photographers. 

We all wanna be better photographers.

And it ain't about the equipment we use.

Better cameras don't make us better photographers.

A better understanding of photography makes us better photographers.

And that's where our daily studies and practice come in.

We've gotta take the time to pay attention to the light we notice and do our best to make an interesting picture of it.  

Here's How To Start a Daily Practice

• Take a few minutes each day—whenever and wherever you happen to be
• Whatever camera you have will do, even the one on your phone.
• It doesn't matter what we photograph; anything'll do—our cup/glass of whatever we're drinking, what we see outside our window, a doorknob, etc.
• There'll be something new to see every day.
• And critiquing our pictures is important, too.

Our persistence and consistency pay off because we'll learn.

And if we miss a day, there's no need to sweat it because we can just pick up where we left off.

And taking a class or a private lesson or four doesn't hurt either.

The Photography Basics (Introduction To Photography) group classes starts soon or you can your can learn the same stuff as a series of Private Lessons.
  
More ways to study and practice photography with me are below.

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

A note about group class sizes: Did you know that some places that teach photography have up to 25 students in each class? 

Bigger ain't always better.

That's why I limit my group classes to no more than five participants because smaller classes make for better, more effective, and more efficient learning experiences.

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

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

Currently scheduled classes are below.

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.
