Roll Up – Roll Up – - – I got a story to tell and it ain’t no lie! I’ve mentioned on occasion that I teach college – and at that college I teach Graphic Design and in those graphics classes I teach students to use software like Photoshop and more ~:0) What’s all that about? You might ask – well I’ll tell you! Each time I have the final class for that degree plan I allow them a glance into the mystic circle of Photographer- Artist.

Make memories & chase adventure~:0) VivaChas!
