Join us to learn how snap amazing photos with your smartphone from professional photographer Peter Glass!
The quality of smartphone cameras is improving rapidly. Their capabilities extend far beyond what most people seem to use them for... taking selfies. In many situations, they work quite well as stand-ins for SLR cameras. It therefore is no longer necessary to drag around a big camera because you're afraid of missing that great photo opportunity. A good quality smartphone can work pretty well instead. This is a class for those truly interested in producing first-rate images with their smartphone cameras. That means moving away from the Auto Mode, where control by you is almost nonexistent, to the Manual or Shutter Priority Modes. This puts you more in charge of how the final images will look. And they no doubt will be much improved. Please note: The taking of selfies will not be covered in this class. All the information necessary for taking superior smartphone pictures will be addressed. Topics to be covered include: • Understanding basic photography theory • Identifying and setting the camera controls • Suggestions for handholding your camera • Specific steps to follow when taking a picture • Useful accessories for your smartphone camera • Finding and installing the best smartphone camera apps • What to look for when buying a new or used smartphone
In addition, you’ll be photographing with your smartphone camera. I’ll be offering feedback – helping you get more comfortable with the operation of your camera and offering suggestions for improving your image compositions. A very complete handout will be given to you when you arrive. It contains lots of information, and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what is being taught in class. In addition, the handout will allow you to spend less time taking notes and more time listening and participating in class. You also will find it quite useful for review after the course has ended.
Presented by Peter, of Peter Glass Photography, an award-winning professional photographer specializing in commercial, corporate, and editorial photography. For over 25 years, he has serviced clients locally, nationally, and internationally. Peter holds a Master of Arts degree in Film and Television Production from the University of Texas.

Mill Street Marketplace

Back for round two!!
The Makers Exchange is exactly what it sounds like - a space centered around artists, makers, and small businesses sharing what they do best. It’s a curated mix of handmade goods, art, vintage, and unique pieces you’re not going to find scrolling online.
Every vendor is chosen with intention - no AI, no resellers. Just people who actually make or source what they’re selling.
Even if you plan on going to the June market, this one will have a completely different lineup of vendors, so it’s worth coming back through!!
We’ll also have tattooing available during the event being done by Yellow Pants Tattoo, along with a food truck and Caffeine Coven on site 😍
The market takes place at Mill Street Marketplace, which has 80+ permanent indoor vendors, so there’s plenty to explore before, during, and after the event.
It’s a good one if you’re looking to support small businesses and find things that feel a little more personal!
