"I’ve been involved with the Sports Shooter photography workshops since the beginning and saw my participation as an opportunity to share my knowledge with students and to make myself available to answer any questions that they might have. I find that meeting with students is a mutually rewarding experience." www.MyungChunPhotography.com Sports Shooter |
