Congratulations, you've joined the digital photography world.   
Now you're looking for down-to-earth training in the principles of photography to take advantage of the digital photography revolution. At first glance, the challenge of learning the intricacies of DSLR cameras and composition can seem daunting. It is true that you are starting in a craft with its own set of rules as well as its own - not always logical - jargon. It's an unnatural mix of technology and art. But that's what makes this journey so compelling.

Each year, thousands of beginners take those first steps.
Students of the art who succeed, and realize the personal satisfaction that digital photography offers, do so by first learning and committing to the basic building blocks of photography.

How will you really LEARN photography?  
How are you going to acquire that fundamental knowledge and understanding?

Some take the trial and error approach.  
Put a data card in the camera and start shooting. If you have years to learn and enjoy re-inventing the wheel, then you've found the ideal solution.

Others read books or take expensive Internet courses. 
This approach is better, but can be costly and requires considerable time. Most importantly, these options are missing the one component that facilitates true education -- hands-on experience with live instruction and professional feedback in a face-to-face classroom environment.

That personal educational environment is available. 
In Oregon and Washington these foundation-building classes are offered by Tom Hubbard. Tom is a noted photographer, educator and author who uses his expertise to construct digital photography classes that are specifically tailored to beginners.  Learn alongside others who share your interest, and from a dedicated instructor who finds his greatest satisfaction in seeing his students experience that "Ah-Ha" photographic moment.
