This workshop series is developed for memebers of the Dyersburg Photography Club in Dyersburg Tennessee
and anyone else in the community and surrounding areas interested in learning more about photography.
It is inexpensive and informative. The materials covered will be the course of study from my online photography
courses that I offer at http://www.roushphotoonline.com.

This workshop series will be fun for all skill levels, and each person attending will walk away
with knowledge and expertise that will raise their skill levels. A different agenda will be covered at each workshop.
Assignments will be given and posted here each month for the photographers to complete.
There are a total of six workshops, one each month.

We will critique them privately through email as different levels of expertise can't be fairly critiqued together.
