Taking better pictures: The Digital Divas workshop at Mike's Camera October 19

Monday, October 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

It's no secret that I am not the world's greatest photographer. I rely on my iPhone's camera for pretty much everything, and I don't know squat about composition or lighting or angles. Or editing. (Thank goodness for InstaGram!) Then they pretty much remain in the ether forever.

Then Mike's Camera invited me to their free Digital Divas event coming up in October - for ladies only. All about taking better pictures and getting them off your computer, with wine and food and giveaways. At all three locations.
