New Year's Resolution - Finally!

I know it was one of my New Year's resolutions for 2025, and quite possibly 2024, but I finally did it!
I developed and taught an introductory photography workshop:

7 “steps” To Make YourPhotos 10x Better !

I have been developing the workshop, with photo examples and outlines, since at least mid-2024. The presentation itself, for well over 6 months. This past Saturday I had 9 people in the house as guinea pigs to take my 3-4 hr workshop. I invited a broad range of experience and interests to try to get the best feedback possible. I'm still waiting for some of the post workshop surveys to come back, but the vibe and the verbal feedback at the end was encouraging. I covered the basics of the exposure triangle, compositional considerations, Point-of-view vs Field-of-view and other ideas to help an interested person get better photos.

i,e, dust, home vs professional printing and so on
