    I thought the class was exceptional. I?m largely self taught and trying to get much better, so having someone teach while walking and answer questions was more valuable than hours on YouTube. Darrin was patient, included everyone, and offered tons of great advice and tips. I can?t wait for my next class!

    The class was enjoyable. The group walked around downtown sharing their different view points and offering advice and suggestions to each other. I recommend this class to anyone thinking about street photography.

    I very much enjoyed it. I took Darrin's class more for a means to get myself out shooting more than for the learning experience. I require motivation and signing up for the class is more of means to motivate myself to go. I really enjoy night, urban, and neon photography and this class met all three criteria.

    I learned the importance of shapes, textures, and lighting and how they can improve photos in street photography. The length of the event was just about right, especially during the warmer periods.

    I was outside shooting the sunset when this cloud started to build. I turned and focused on photographing the storm instead. I managed to capture several lightning shots, but this one is my favorite of the batch.

    Grace Schmidt, one of the talented ballet dancers in the Kansas area, delivered a stunning performance during our photoshoot. It was an incredibly hot summer day, and we were practically melting, but with every click of the camera shutter, I felt the urge to capture more. Grace leaped multiple times with grace and power, and in one of those perfect moments, I captured this incredible shot.

    I enjoy watching the sun come up every morning, but this particular morning I sent my drone up to catch the sun's rays before they disappeared. Sunrises over the countryside seldom disappoint.

    Around 2 years ago on me and my girlfriends anniversary I took some silhouette shots of us together and she absolutely loved them! So a couple weeks ago when me and her were walking around stocksdale park, when I looked at the sunset I thought it was just perfect and had to take another silhouette shot of us together.

    I live in Lee's Summit but we found out that the path of totality for the solar eclipse was going right over my sons house in Gunter Texas. We traveled to his house to visit him, his wife and our two grandchildren the week before the eclipse. On the day of the eclipse it was cloudy so I didn't have much hope. Luckily as the eclipse began to progress the clouds broke up, especially during totality. I didn't process the photos until we got home the day after the eclipse. When I opened this ph
