About the lesson

photography...

I've been taking photos off and on for pleasure for over 10 years recently I've become a full-time photographer in Southern California and offer a couple of different courses. My first would be very very basic intro to DSLR photography. specifically how to use your camera in manual mode and the other basic settings of the camera. This course can be done online or in person. It is very simple and designed to get you on your way with your camera out within an hour or two. I offer a hiking tour of the San Bernardino Mountain area specifically near heaps Peak or we have a short and easy hike ample parking and and Arboretum that is filled with the native plants of our area. This area also has wonderful views of both the high desert and Southern California regions. Third course I offer is a full-blown immersive course or the students ride with me or drive their own four wheel drives along a set route that I drive often that takes bus from Crestline down to the high desert backup the north side of the San Bernardino mountain range to Cedar Pines Park and mozumdar Temple area then finishing where we begin in Crestline. this course requires about 6 hours and will send you home with some of the best picture you've ever taken of Wildland in California.

Skiing and snowboarding...

I've been skiing for 20 years and ski or snowboard almost everyday in Southern California at either Bear Mountain Snow Summit Snow Valley or Mountain High. I Offer basic beginner ski lessons and Backcountry Ski and Snowboard excursions when snow allows. I promise to get you down the mountain in one piece with a smile on your face knowing the very basics of how to ski or snowboard or the end of your first day. I spend a total of 3 hours with each student to ensure that they fall in love with our Sports. Ask me about my ski and snowboard combo package... Not sure which one you'd rather do why not do both? I can teach you how.
