Workshop at The Well

Workshop at The Well

So many times we get people telling us they have a digital SLR camera and want to know how to use the functions as they don’t want to shoot in Automatic all the time.  Well, this past Saturday we held an “Intro to Photography/ How to use your Digital SLR” Workshop so that they could learn how to take it out of Automatic and “drive” using the manual features.  We ended up having 10 participants join us at The Well Coffeehouse in Pineville.  There was even someone who drove in all the way from Asheville, NC!

The day couldn’t have gone better!  TJ is an amazing teacher and loves to create an atmosphere for people to learn.  He also created a great workbook to go along with the class.  I was obviously there organizing a lot of the details prior to and during the workshop, however when it comes to actually teaching, that is where TJ shines!  Throughout the day I was also taking video clips and still photos to document the workshop.

Thank you to everyone who participated on Saturday!  We had so much fun meeting each and every one of you.

If you are interested in staying up to date on our future workshops, please email us and let us know.  As soon as dates are scheduled, you will be the first to know.

2013 Myrtle Beach Marathon

2013 Myrtle Beach Marathon

The Myrtle Beach Marathon has been a tradition with the Petrino family for quite a few years now.  Early on the family used to take part in the relay marathon where 5 members would each run a leg of the 26.2 miles.  It was a blast!  Unfortunately the relay marathon was removed from the race and it is now just the half and full marathon only.  Regardless, someone in the family usually runs one of the 2 races each year, and we all come together and support them!  This year it was my sister in-law, Marianne, who ran the marathon.  TJ ran about 8 of the miles with her, helping her pace and encouraging her along the way.  What a great big brother!  She made amazing time and we were all so proud of her.  Throughout the race I was on the sidelines cheering at different mile markers and taking photos along the way.  Maybe someday I will run the half??
