BesPhoto Photography Workshops in Plainfield Illinois - wheelchair accessible

NEW to the BesPhoto Photography Workshops is a workshop in Plainfield Illinois.  The class is sponsored by Plainfield Art League and begins September 4th.  This class is for high school and middle school age children. It will be held 4-5:30pm on 4 consecutive weeks.  This is a great opportunity to learn about your camera and photography close to home.  This workshop will be located at the Plainfield Art League Gallery and School, 24114 W Chicago St, Plainfield, Illinois 60544 across from the Village Green Park in downtown Plainfield.  We will start in the gallery, and weather permitting, walk to the Village Green Park across the street from the gallery to practice what we learn.  All the while learning how to make your camera do what you want it to do.  This class is wheelchair accessible.  To register for this class go to: http://www.plainfieldartleague.org/classes.htm.  If you have any problems with registration, then please contact me at http://www.besphoto.com/common/contact.htm.
