I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Henry this past Saturday!
My eyes were opened to objects and scenes that likely would have been missed hadn’t Henry pointed them out to me. I’ve been to the Dallas Museum several times before but it was like experiencing it from an entirely different POV, one that was focused on stillness, intention and reflection on the past.
Henry was also a great model and storyteller. Attached are some of the photos taken during the class. Thanks for sending the PPTs, hope to have the chance to learn from Henry and the academy again.

😀 Henry and I hit it off quite well and enjoyed the day. I am returning to creative pursuits after many years working and not doing much of anything with art. Henry had some great advice for me. I learned a lot and am most assuredly inspired to keep going with my photography.
I have also started the Digital Photo Academy online instruction resources and am getting a lot out of it. What strikes me in both my experience with Henry and with the online instruction is an emphasis on creative control and the idea that as the photographer, you determine what narrative you want to tell and how to use the camera and its settings to tell it. Yes, there are basic techniques I need to master, but I can also use settings and situations to tell the story, not just to create a perfectly exposed image. This is both inspiring and liberating, and also very different from the instruction I have done online before. The instructor I’m watching currently, DPA/David Wells, explains things very clearly and also provides multiple examples throughout the lessons that illustrate different ways to create the image. I’m invited into his decision-making process in some of the tips at the end of the lessons, and it’s very helpful. So, thank you!
I intend to join the Facebook community, and thank you so much for sharing the photography primers with the “thank you email.” I look forward to studying those images!

We had a wonderful afternoon at the zoo! Henry provided me with applicable advice on both settings and composition as well as artistic considerations. The hands-on practice with Henry’s guidance was extremely helpful. I’m exhausted tonight in a good way. 🙂 I’ll pull together the photos tomorrow to share. I would like to do some of the online instruction, too. I will look through the sample lessons tomorrow.

“I greatly enjoyed this class. This is actually the third class I’ve taken with Mr. Biber and I’ve learned something new every time. I’d recommend the class to anyone. I’ve attached my favorite image from Saturday. Mr. Biber is very interesting and I look forward to my next class with him.”

“Karen and Henry provided an informative and even personalized instruction to our large class. They took the time to review, critique and guide us as individuals. As aspiring photographers, whether seeking a new profession or just enjoyment, they gave knowledge to better our craft with their amazing skills.”
