It occurred to me recently we are entering our tenth year of teaching photography<\/em><\/strong> at HarryNowell.com.<\/p>\n

In my youth I loved being outside and active and going FAST<\/em><\/strong> – mountain bikes, road bikes, xc skis, telemark skis, running, paddling, etc. With time I got some skills and started teaching under the pedagogical direction of many different sport’s guiding bodies.<\/p>\n

I also worked as an instructor for Outward Bound<\/a> where I assisted people in challenging their limits in life through outdoor pursuits – climbing, paddling whitewater, canoe tripping, etc.<\/p>\n

Eventually, after a couple of failed attempts at getting in to Teacher’s College, I pursued photography. Years into photography a friend, Shoshona, asked “Have you ever thought of teaching photography?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

It was a natural progression. I had extensive experience being taught how to teach with many teaching certifications. And I had learned photography the hard way – being self taught I knew the frustrations of learning a challenging skill!!<\/p>\n

So in 2001 I offered HarryNowell.com’s first photo workshop – it is now our most popular workshop – Creative Fundamentals<\/a>. That first session started in our dining room with a class of TWO students – Brian and Heather.<\/p>\n

There is a new facebook page<\/a> started by a past student for past students<\/a> (you may need to log into facebook first). There are many kind testimonials<\/a> and many new workshops<\/a> since 2001!<\/p>\n

Here’s to many more years and many more smiling students!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
