Lastly, thanks for putting together the E Book- and for sharing it online.” Caroline N., Bonita Springs after her first photography lesson.

“Gordon, I enjoyed our session today and feel like I learned a great deal. Thanks for sending the notes. They will be very useful for me. I have already learned how to adjust the self timer, monitor display time, and flash intensity. I also found the focus/exposure box. This camera seems to have three: left, right and center. My camera was already set to clean the image sensor when turned on and off. Lots of progress! The three best shots from today are of the willet. Let me know what you think.”- Beverly F., Naples after her first photography lesson.

Selfishly, we are glad that only ten of these exist. The photograph has and will continue to draw a positive critique from anyone who sees it. You are a pleasure to work with. The extra time you spent with us after delivering the print was appreciated. Wishing you continued success, Bill & Geri”- after purchasing a limited edition canvas depicting the famous Naples landmark.

I enjoyed myself so much on our Marco shoot that I took another stab at it this morning, Suzanne”. -Suzanne S., Toronto after an instructional field trip.

I will send you some of the pics from today soon!”- Mike & Shelley M., Cleveland/Naples after the first of several instructional field trips together.

“Hi Gordon! Thank you for capturing such precious moments at the butterfly release.

Glad to have met you and for making a new friend”.- Dana C., Naples.

“How can I thank you enough for the wonderful event coverage you posted for us? It was beyond awesome and words cannot express my gratitude. The team at Camp Bow-Wow was so elated too. It is a pleasure working with you and we all look forward to keeping up a fantastic relationship and a future of working together”.- Kathleen M., Top Dog Kitchen.

To the Naples Daily News: “I wanted to write you a quick note in regards to the phenomenal coverage that your freelancer, Gordon Campbell, has been giving us on behalf of Naples News. Our most recent event with him was our Patriotic Pooch Night that occurred on May 19th and Fred’s Food, Fun and Spirits to benefit the Domestic Animal Services and the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. He has covered 2 other events for us as well in the recent past.

It is obvious that Gordon loves what he does. His very warm, kind and easy going personality makes people feel very comfortable speaking with him and he takes a very keen interest in what his interviewees have to say. His photos truly capture the essence of the events and I cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate everything he has done for us for the PR exposure. It is a real pleasure having him with us as he continues to “wow us” with his stories. All the best,

“Gordon, Very successful class. Michelle was saying what an excellent teacher you are. We both did night photography in Naples with someone else who paid very little attention to what we were actually doing. And Joy was impressed, too”. – Christine C., Naples after attending a night photography/HDR class.

Hi Gordon,
Last night was truly memorable, and not just because of the storm!!
You opened our eyes to the wonderful possibilities of Carl’s new Nikon camera (as requested, I might add) and also a renewed appreciation of the attributes of our older cameras. What a wonderful opportunity it was to have such an understandable introduction to the possibilities of both our new and older cameras.
Thank you for a memorable evening. I might add, any notes you might send would be greatly appreciated!! By the way, we just read through your “ebook” and thoroughly enjoyed the copy and illustrations!- Your newest supporters- Carl & Sue Nipp, Naples.

I learned more in one night from Gordon than I did in a few weeks at a local adult ed class! Looking forward to another one! Joy R., Naples after a June 2011 Photoshop Elements class.

I very much enjoyed a sunny morning at Lowdermilk Park learning some pointers about photography from Gordon. He answered my questions with specific information on various settings on my Nikon D-90 and how to best take advantage of them. We took a brief camera safari on the beach to take a few photos and discuss composition and lighting techniques. I appreciated his knowledgeable and friendly manner of tailoring his lesson to my questions and concerns. I look forward to some future private lessons or small group classes, Fran G., Naples.

Hi Gordon, well once again you have outdone yourself on photographic instruction!! Now I have a new addiction. Just sending along a couple of photos from my very hot Botanical Gardens photo shoot. Thanks again for your two part photo shoot and I look forward to some excursions in the fall or in the new year. Suzanne S. – After a two part HDR photography class presented in collaboration with Peggy Farren that covered both shooting & digital processing.

“I had a wonderful experience and learned a lot about my camera and about taking HDR pictures. Gordon is a great teacher who takes time to work one-on-one with each student to make sure they understand each technique before moving on to the next”. Kris K. after the same class.

“Your photography workshop was awesome, you got me thinking much more about composition and lighting and everything else that goes into to taking a great picture.”- Michael L. after an October 2011 nature photography class.

“What a great guy you are! I love this shot too and
remember, I didn’t want to do alligators. Funny isn’t it
that those are some of my favorites. I had to send my Canon
in for repair, shutter issue, Nikon owners can smile. Thanks, Gordon for a great afternoon. “- Carol M. after a guided Everglades photo excursion.

I was in the audience at the seminar on the 4th.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
I need to commend you on being able to stay on track with so many
questions. I can’t wait to get out and put to use the new found info.
Thank you, Darlene.
