Schmitz is the Instructor of Photography at McHenry County College. This website is meant to serve both his students and anyone interested in understanding how photography works. The goal of this project is help you understand how photography works so you can start making photographs in a profound and meaningful way. I imagine a world full of image literate, visually conscientious and photographically sensitive human beings.
