Roger Paperno's Class

Roger Paperno on Photography: Roger believes in the Zen of photography. “The photographer’s mindset can be seen in each and every one of his or her photos. Were you happy, sad, scared, nervous, bored, or indifferent? Your emotion and energy can directly impact the success or failure that is all tied into you as you fire the shutter. Learn how to approach each and every photo with a fresh, clear mind and an attitude of wonder, and you'll see your work improve dramatically.” Roger will talk about photography and techniques, and will also delve into the feelings behind the photos and how to improve your odds of getting a photo you will treasure - not just for the image but also for how it makes you feel and what it represents.
