I attended a Digital Camera Class taught by award winning News-Gazette photographer,  Darrell Hoemann, and assisted by NG photographer R K O'Daniell.  There were 15 class members, many with new digital cameras that they were learning to operate.

Darrell assists a student in the operation of her camera.

The class met in the basement of the News-Gazette Building.
