"You have already added so much to my life that I cannot thank you enough (photography has been my hobby/passion for a long time and your site was the first I came across where you speak about life and the camera vs camera review). Life is simple yet unique and that how it should be captured and presented."

"Just a note, last evening I downloaded the Lightroom Survival Kit program and spent several hours reviewing it. I was very impressed with not only his knowledge of the subject but the presentation is top notch. And because of this, once I complete this email I am going to order the M9 Masterclass. Thanks again for you professionalism and help."

We made a stop in Miami on our way back from Cuba to get a good nights sleep and celebrate Valentines day before the rush. Had the best ever vegan burger at Love Life Cafe (Voted “Best Veggie Burger in America")
and walked to the Miami Design District and raided the Hermes store.
