Dance with me!   Robin Hood's dream!    My Philosophy:       Photography consists of two separate conflicting components.    In the science of photography, one plus one always equals    two. Because of this, everyone can master the technical    know-how with the right teacher.      However, on the artistic side of photography, sometimes we    must abandon strict science and attempt to think outside the    box.  Herein lies the conflict. But this conflict has a resolution.     I have the ability and the enthusiasm to demystify the chal-    lenges of the science as well as the joy of the creative side of    photography.          Master the science and we reach new heights in creativity.    Master the classical body language (posing) it's timeless.        Grandmother's Pearls     He loves them both!
