Having recently rekindled my desire for photography, I've taken Heidi's Photo 1 and Photo 2 courses. The one on one or classroom learning experience just can't be beat. Questions can be answered right away for any confusion you may have. Heidi does an excellent job of clearly explaining the process of photography. I've a much better understanding of how to correctly use my new camera, and I keep practicing to put my new knowledge to better use. I hope to one day take the analog course and delve back into actual film! But wait, there is more. Not only can you do photography here, you can also take art painting lessons, and summer camps for kids are also available. Heidi also does an introductory course using Adobe's Lightroom for editing your digital photos. Lenses and Brushes is located in the lower level of the Mercantile building, and the easiest door is located on 8th street directly across from The Warehouse. Check out the website for all of the courses and activities offered, and keep watch on the Facebook page for photo gathering and happenings.

She has a great way with them, and her photos prove that. We have done 2 photo sessions with her, including the family christmas card, and the Christmas Cards are the best. SOME people I've sent them to keep them out all year long. Seriously. They are good. I would get a few every year from other people and they really stand out, so I needed to get started with them myself. They are the best. We have done both of our photo sessions at the beach with kind of ' off' weather, NO WORRIES - Carolyn will make everything look great. You look great, the beach looks great. She is great with color and format and making everything look really special. If you look at her website, you will know what I mean. I have a lot of friends and neighbors that have worked with her, for a lot longer than I have. Carolyn is also a nice person. And she's cute. And fun. I can't say enough good things about her.

I went to the Carrington College Dental Hygene Clinic…read more I'm not sure that they really have consistent policies that they enforce, and it really wastes their patients time. I was first told it would take two to three visits. The first exam they said my blood pressure was high, but they passed me for treatment. The second time I came they said my blood pressure was too high for treatment. They where approximately the same blood pressure readings from separated by two days. Same blood pressure readings,two days apart. The only difference was the doctors making the decision That is not a fair or consistent policy. If one doctor approves you, then you should be approved for every visit. It's very unsafe for a patient to be cut off in the middle of treatment just because their coffee was a bit strong one day. First time I went they where making claims about my calculus levels without any avidenturary documentation. Nobody could explain to me the clinical definition between calculus level one, two or three. Nobody would take my opinions seriously, even though they where treating my mouth. I went to a dental teaching clinic in the first place because I thought that a teaching clinic would be making a greater effort in following a scientific and professional protocol. This clinic seemed to be making excuses , saying, "This is just a teaching clinic." As an excuse for why they don't need to be professional. I disagree, I think they need to strive to be the most professional and scientific clinic because they are a teaching clinic. For a teaching clinic to admit that they don't care about their reviews or level of professionalism seems like a very poor attitude to have.

The instructors were highly knowledgeable and patient, and our daughter learned so much from each of them. With her busy schedule, we decided to have her take the online course and was happy that she enjoyed it so much. It gave her all the knowledge she needed to do her drives and score well, even on the very first one. Since this was her first ever online course for a class, it gave her the confidence to know she can be successful taking online classes too. Being a good driver is important and teaches students many life skills. We are very happy Excel Driving School and staff gave her the start.
