This week we are joined by San Diego photographer, Don Sheffler! Don is a great photographer in our community here & he does great work with skateboard/sport photography, senior portraits, and other genres as well. He chats with us about his philosophies regarding keeping photography fun! Don loved photography in the 80s, but he didn't do it professionally for another 20 years.

He enjoyed it quite a bit & eventually took a photography class with his daughter (and his old high school photography teacher!), and the new DSLR cameras blew his mind! His knowledge of photography came flooding back & he purchased his first DSLR shortly thereafter. The rest is history!!
