Hello to the Photo 1,2,3 Class that we’ll be teaching on Saturday, October 27th in Elgin, Illinois.

Here’s a picture just for you that is a good example of the rule of thirds!

It is a good example for other reasons too.  This guy, Bob Lee, is riding his bike from Canada to Mexico to raise money for 3 Reasons, Hospice, ALS and Cancer.  He’ll raise just about $1,000,000!

In some of our classes you’ll learn about Instagram.  Instragram was recently purchased by Facebook for $1 billion and some people just don’t get it.

But we do.  And once we show you … you will too.

Instagram provides a simple way to make your cell phone photographs (yes, iPhoneography is in our vocabulary now) absolutely beautiful and then it helps you share them with the world, or just your friends.  It’s emotional, simple and it has democratized the ability to create and share really cool photography.

Here are instagrams that we have recently created …

You can sign up for classes at Musée School of Photography & Digital Media

Right in the middle of town there is a new school … Musée School of Photography & Digital Media.

Photographing the people we love and the places we frequent; photography is a part of everyone’s life now.  At Musée, we’re passionate about photography and digital media and we’re passionate about passing on our knowledge so that your photographs can be all they are supposed to be … all that you need them to be.

Taking great photographs from the start, that’s important.  Using editing tools to turn your images into something spectacular, that’s even more important.  And then using those images along with your voice, that’s the ultimate.

Our classes will teach you how to take great photographs, make them even greater and then turn them into your dreams.

Everyone is different and everyone has a vision.

We can’t wait to see yours.

Classes are listed here on this site or stop by and pick up a class list.  If we’re not there you can take one from the mailbox by the front door.  Classes are starting now and continue through the summer.
