Coming soon: Photography courses

I am working on some very exciting new educational resources that will take you every step of the way towards creating better images, ranging from beginner to advanced. The courses will focus on composition, the creative process, and analyzing images to help you improve. They will not focus on gear specifics, and therefore will be useful to all photographers, no matter what equipment you have.

Photo Highlight

Evening Tram I, Zagreb, Croatia

As darkness was falling in the old city center of Zagreb, Croatia, there was an interesting juxtaposition of modern, fast moving lights on the tram, and the stationary traditional street lights. A longer exposure time allowed these two contrasting components to be captured together.
