Hi - I am Mike. I have been teaching Photoshop classes for 10+ years in the Portland, Maine area and have been a photographer doing commercial and stock work for more than 35 years. I also lead photo safaris and activities aboard ships and land based photo walks and promote photo tourism helping people to make their best shot with their own equipment while on vacations. Nighttime and Weather photography is a specialty. I love what I do!

I am an Adobe Photoshop User Group Leader in Portland, Maine years teaching Photoshop to the public for the past 10 years. I am a film and digital photographer favoring Canon cameras. I have 35+ years experience doing television production, shooting, editing, engineering and distribution.

Helping you to make your Best Shot is a goal I have so you may share on social media, make fine art prints and to make the most of your equipment. I'll take you from the green 'Auto' mode to Program and more to help you make better images with your camera and can follow that with Photoshop Instructions for processing your image into a final state to print and distribute - all while having fun learning!
