    We did not have ideal weather conditions to do street photography, but Josh did a great job of trying to help each of us on an individual basis to learn more about our cameras and when the rainy drizzle let up enough for us to try to walk around, he was so helpful in helping us with settings to try to learn some different ways to capture pictures in less than perfect conditions. I will definitely do another session in the near future.
