I LOVED that Russ did not just talk...he made the class interactive and MADE us interact in a very non-threatening way! It was obvious he knows what he's talking about and gave us wonderful tips to improve our photographs...not just "pictures". It was great...and made us THINK about what we were doing. The venue was very comfortable and conducive to learning. I would highly recommend him!
