These days, it seems like everybody's got a camera in their pocket — but your phone doesn't make you a photographer. If you're interested in getting a real start in this rewarding hobby/art form, head to Kohne Camera & Photo in Perrysburg for an informative and affordable photography class. Kohne's one-day "Intro to Photography" is free with any camera purchase (or $45), and it's a great overview of everything a beginning shutterbug should know. (Sunday, September 2 and Sunday, October 21, 4:30pm.) Or, if you're looking to get serious, sign up for the full seven-week "Beginning Digital Photography" course, which meets every Wednesday at 6:30pm for two hours, beginning September 5. At $239.99, it's a bargain that will get you well along the way to "expert."
