Photography lessons (DSLR)! - 2 hour private one-on-one photography lessons: $130 value!

Photography lessons were a specific item request for our auction (I'll tell you - from Kenya Johnson). Evidently this is a thing that people want and need. David Simchock is a very real-deal photographer (see his other auction offering, the Biltmore tulip picture), so chances are good that he can  teach you to use your camera well. Here's what he says on his site (http://www.vagabondvistas.com/):

With the advent of the digital camera, photography is more accessible today than it has ever been.  Nearly gone are the days of that thing called "film", and vanished is the mystery of not knowing whether or not you took a decent shot, not to mention the aniticipation of getting prints back from the local lab.  Millions and millions of consumers now have the latest high-megapixel point-and-shoot cameras, with thousands more investing in digital SLR (DSLR) cameras.  This has been a fantastic boost for the art form, except...

These wonderful pieces of technology can be intimidating, frustrating and overwhelming and, of course, the instruction manuals that come with the box are rarely of much help when it comes to practical advice on how to use the gear to improve your creative skills.

The result?

THE SOLUTION:  Why not invest in yourself, and learn how to use your equipment and to compose your images with the help of a professional photography instructor?

 Ok! We're sold! Bid on this at the auction.
