    Jalen was great- it happened to be a small class so we got lots of one on one attention. He really did a great job in helping and explaining each area, and asked if any questions along the way.

    I am based in Toledo Ohio. I often venture to Dayton on day trips, occasionally overnight as well. I'm basically a explorer who happens to understand Photography. So as I was exploring the Downtown area, I came upon this interesting composition. I was intrigued by the Historic look to it. With Sacred Heart Church in the background and what appears to be a very old Bank building with its majestic pillars, now vacant before it. It just felt as though I came around the corner and entered Europe. Th
