How_was_michael_as_an_instructor: He was extremely patient with me and all the other students. He would repeat concepts we found difficult in a number of ways until we all understood it.

How_was_Michaels_teaching_style: I liked the balance of fun and teaching. I think he has it pretty well mastered.

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day1_critiquing: He was just as tough as necessary and helped me compose solid pictures

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day2_critiquing: He was extremely helpful and would share his opinions but still make us compose the pictures on our own.

short_paragraph_of_how_it_was: The class was an in depth extensive two day funshop. It taught me very much that I didn't know. It covered everything from how to manipulate the camera the way you need to, to how to compose solid award winning photographs and even how to edit your previous pictures to be winners. I really enjoyed the class and highly recommend it to anyone interested in photography.

name: Nicole O.

How_was_michael_as_an_instructor: Michael was very helpful and explained concepts very well. He was consistent and stuck with me through my problems.

How_was_Michaels_teaching_style: He balanced fun and teaching well, and I learned without feeling too pressured.

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day1_critiquing: He was a hard critic, but all his criticism was well-meant and helped immensely.

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day2_critiquing: He was tough but maintained a sense of respect by explaining that everyone had different opinions while sharing his own.

short_paragraph_of_how_class_was_overall: The first day, we all got to know one another. It was a long day of learning concepts but was well worth sticking through. The following two days were extremely constructive, and I left feeling satisfied that I had learned as much as I could in a three day period. Michael was both honest and respectful, and I would love to take more of his classes.

Beg_too_tough_day_ONE?: Most were illustrated well enough that I could gather a basic understanding for each concept. I don't think that I would have understood Michael's comments later on without the first day. I enjoyed seeing the work of others in the class as well. Critiquing work was fun, inspiring, and helpful.

beginners_day_ONE_anything_should_be_done_differently?: no

Beg_Day2_Was_tech_tooToughOrEasy_And_Benefits_Recd: Once I began using the camera outside, taking my own pictures, it was easier to understand the concepts that had been outlined in day one. The technical info was, once again, well explained.

beginners_day_TWO_anything_done_differently?: I thoroughly enjoyed each and every aspect of the field work. I was challenged to the point where I felt I had to strive for something without getting overly frustrated.
