The topics of photography to be covered will be generated by the class as topics of their interest and could include topics such as lighting, composure, content, editing and famous photographers.

I have a bachelor's degree in Photojournalism from Western Kentucky University and a Master's Degree in Education from City College of New York. I taught visual arts in New York City Public Schools for 8 years. I have worked at newspapers in the U.S. and continue to work on documentary projects along with taking portraits and weddings.
I believe everyone can learn and believe in everyone receiving a well rounded education.
