Thank you so very much for your excellent judging at the Charlotte Camera Club.  Everyone enjoyed your clear and concise comments on all the photos submitted to the monthly contest.  Personally, after I implemented your suggestions on my photo, it finished first place in another club’s contest the following week.  Your suggestions were excellent!  Thank you from me and the entire club for your time and expertise. 

Can’t wait to hear your presentation at the Club at the end of the month.

This class on flower and garden photography centered on Longwood Gardens gave me several new perspectives on how to take photographs.  Irene has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which helped me improve composition and see images in a new way.  I came away from the class with a completely new appreciation for taking photos of flowers and garden scenes.  Irene has a very helpful teaching style.

Every time I have attended one of Irene’s photo workshops, I have learned something new that improves my photography. Besides her great photo and teaching skills, she has an uncanny ability to spot animals in the wild. On Skyline Drive, she spotted a dark shape in the crotch of a tree.  She stopped, saying she think she saw a bear. I didn’t believe it, but the black blob sprouted ears & was a bear cub. Irene’s enthusiasm is contagious and I find myself discovering unique photo opportunities in… Read more

Irene I want to express how pleased I was with your Tangier Island photo workshop.  Your coordination and knowledge of the Island made the time spent worthwhile.  Knowing where to go in the early morning dawn and the boat charter to photograph the working watermen were the highlights of the trip.  I also found the critique of our photos very helpful and showed that making a good photograph better is just taking a second look.  I would encourage anyone who wants to improve their photographic … Read more
