ReplyDeleteWorking with joel was an honor. I learned how to work a camera inside out and i know that is extremely beneficial.
ReplyDeleteWhen Joel was here he told and showed us a lot of things. For example he showed us that you don't need a man made light like a flash light you can us the sun light. That is a really awesome thing to know.
