Student Comments:
I just completed a class in iPhoneography with Teri Lou on-line. In 4 weeks she has presented us with challenging assignments that allowed us to really learn the apps. There were tutorials for each of the apps covered. In addition, Teri Lou called each week after we turned in each assignment and we had at least a 1/2 hr telephone conference with her. The feedback was thoughtful and ideas were offered for additional uses of each app, or combinations of apps to use. All my questions were answered in the tele conference or by email. I'm sorry the class is over, but I have the thorough tutorials to refer to plus my notes taken during each tele conference.
Teri's passion for iPhoneography is contagious. I look forward to future classes and workshops with her.

I first came across Teri Lou's class from a friend who asked me if I had created the montage piece on my iphone. I had no idea what she was talking about but the idea that I could create something similar to my photoshop work on my phone was intriguing. She referred me to Teri Lou and off I went. Teri exposed me to many apps and opened pandora's box for me. I haven't stopped for a second since then and I thank Teri for getting me going and her expertise in this area.
