Organizing for classes in early 2007


I started a class this past fall in basic digital photography, and it was well received by 3 enthusiastic participants. But to make this class thing a financially worthwhile pursuit (is there such a thing in the art business??) I need more folks to take the classes. But it’s a lot of work, and like any endeavor, it takes a while to build a following. Got to keep on keeping on!

For next year, I am planning a series of short courses with prerequisites, either an earlier class, or state what knowledge you need to get the most out of the class. So what would people like to see in a range of digital photo classes? I guess I’ll go visit with the Stephen J Allen Photography marketing department. I’ve got all the possibilities diagramed, now all I’ve got to do, with help of the marketing department, is get out may digital decision device. . .and call heads or tails!

Hi Steve,

Great diagram! That's a great roadmap for people grappling with how to learn digital photography.

Stephen,

I am very interested in your classes. I have a Nikon D100 and D80. I am an intermediate amateur who has been shooting for about 10 years. I use Photoshop CS2 & CS3(beta) for editing. I am guessing I would be able to convert what you teach with PSP (I started out using this program) to Photoshop. I love doing Photoart. I have several galleries on pbase. www.pbase.com/galleries/lglogan . I am self taught in Photoshop and photography. Pleas let me know when a class will be starting. I will be watching your website.

Smiles,
Lynda Logan
