  1. many people do not like to be photoed, this could be a problem…My advise is get a very good powerful telephoto lens and go to town…….Otherwise you could get arrested or be in a heated dispute, especially if youngsters are in your lens, or young females……be safe, get that telephoto lens….

  2. The photographer has some stunning portraits which we'd all like to study at at length, however, far too much of this shoot is of the photographer rocking, rocking, rocking back and forth and back and forth, which drives you nuts. We should be looking at the photographs while he talks, not at HIM! He rocks back and forth, from one foot to the other, continually, which is hugely irritating to watch. And he's not the only one of your photo instructors who does this terrible rocking business. Bob Straus does the same thing. It's awful. For heavens sake, teach these guys something about how to lecture and learn yourselves how to film these lectures – the intent is for us to see and understand the PHOTOS, not have to look at this guy talking WAY TOO LONG about trivial stuff, swaying and swaying and rocking and rocking incessantly while not giving us much information at all about how he lit the images or what lens he used. Your videographers have MUCH to learn.
