    Ruben was an excellent instructor. He was very patient with us. My girlfriend came along and knows alittle about photography and he made her feel at home and helped her with settings on a camera I gave her to use. We learned a lot using Manual mode. You're a great instructor, Reuben. Thank you.

    Rueban was excellent! He is not only a master of his craft, but an excellent instructor as well. He was prepared, organized and open to any and all questions asked. He is personable, engaging, and approachable. I have been in other beginner type classes, and the instructor made you feel embarrassed to be a beginner. Not the case with Rueban. He was very humble and there to help us learn and enjoy photography. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is new to learning photography.
