Photography – The Basics
I have always had a passion for photography and as I immersed myself deeper into it and did it more of it, my passion for teaching it developed and grew.

The Pride of Time
Time is a luxury which is less available to many, if not all, of us nowadays, specifically quality time. A big cause of this is that we are locked in a crazy world full of instant gratification, held prisoner by technology and our "crazy lives".

Down by the River Lodge
Arriving at Tengile, we were filled with excitement about being able to explore this new addition to AndBeyond’s portfolio. The entrance catches the eye immediately, as the raw wood and dark metal frames the staircase leading down toward the main area.
