The Old Pro is the New Kid on the Block

Focusing by Richard StrombergRichard Stromberg got his first job in photography in 1964. (That's right, deep in the last century). Since then, Richard has used nearly every piece of photography equipment invented.

Richard is not under the "spell" of any photography equipment manufacturer or camera store. He receives no fees or commissions from any camera company or retail outlet. He has seen and used every SLR and DSLR made since 1969, when he started teaching.

Questions about the classes, or photography in general? About cameras and camera equipment? Call or text Richard at 312-671-7717. It’s free. And he's in such a better mood since the presidential election.
