Before I did my first workshop, I was VERY reluctant to teach workshops. Most of the experience I have with teaching has been to large groups at places like WPPI.

Reopening Shoot The Sh*t Sessions! Wed. April 29, 2009  |  photographers For the longest time, I have been unwilling to consider myself a teacher. It's not that I don't want to share what I know with others, because I do!
