"My wife and I have been teachers for 12 years now and we are both very impressed with your style of instruction. Many of the folks I have met in photography talk down to you as soon as they realize you are 'just an amateur.' You, on the other hand, were so supportive and made everyone feel welcome. I can't wait for another safari! There is only so much you can learn from a book, but experiencing it on the spot trumps all else."
