August 15, 2008: A morning with a National Geographic photographer

  Well, it was an exciting day to say the least.  I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous about meeting Tony.  In the end, though, he was a wonderful teacher.  Very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful.  He taught me a lot in a short amount of time.  I think i will try to meet up with him again in the future.  Perhaps Brazil?  He says he is moving there!  Sounds like another trip in the future.

  I know Sue will be wanting a full report – that will wait until I get home though.  I can show her better than tell her what I learned.  I would definitely recommend a photography session with someone like Tony. 

  So, here are some photos that I took today.  Still learning and always will be!!!  But I gave some of his tips a try and came up with these.

I took this photograph near the Collisium.  These guys sell
