If you like to take photos of your vacation, go with Alvin. He knows the places and has the knowledge to help you take amazing photos. We were shown the correct angles, better composition, and taught about lighting to increase the level of our photographs. When we started our SLR was used mostly on automatic but at the end we were better equipped to use more of what the camera has to offer. To top it all off, Alvin was so personable and a really nice guy.
