In the last month there's been a lot going on at DAS. We are in the process of expanding our demo facility & training areas.
Hopefully in the next two weeks all of the construction will be completed. We'll get pictures up on the website as soon as
we can. We are looking at having an Open House in October sometime.
In the new facility we have 2 classrooms, one for small classes (under 10), and the other will hold up to about 35 students.
Classes will range form our Print Like A Pro 3 days seminar to 4 hour basic photography classes. Once a month we will have a
guest instructor. Our October guest looks to be the head photographer for the San Diego Chargers giving a 4 hour class in
sports & action photography!
The website site should be updated soon (by the weekend I hope). Until then, the next ‘Print Like a Pro’ Seminar has been
scheduled for October 23-25th. Three full days for $695. If you need help with hotel accommodations be sure to give us a call.
