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.

We've got two approaches to our studies and practice.

A specific camera approach and an understanding photography approach

We can learn to use a specific camera or use a specific camera to learn to understand how to use all cameras to do photography.

In other words, the usefulness of learning photography isn't to learn to use a specific camera; it's to learn to use whatever camera we have so we can use any camera to do photography.

When we understand photography, we understand that a camera is a light recording tool with the same functionality as all other cameras, no matter the manufacturer, the make or model, film, or digital complex camera or camera on our phone.

When we change cameras, because we understand the concepts and techniques involved in making a picture with a camera, we'll have no problem adapting to the new camera's ergonomics.

When we can do that, we'll thoroughly understand photography.

And when we thoroughly understand photography, any camera will do.

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.
