I have been involved in photography for many years, having first getting involved with photography at 12 years of age, and creating Don Becker Photography in 1976.  I grew up with film, but am now totally involved with both creative digital capture and to the skills and techniques required to enhance images to show them at their very best.  I have taught all types of photography at the Washington School of Photography and the Maryland Photographic Workshops for over 35 years. Since the demise of both of the above educational institutions, I have decided to continue offering some of my best workshops locally in the Olney/Silver Spring/Rockville area of Montgomery County, MD. My Photo Galleries at the links above contain more of my photographs, if you are interested. My "Upcoming Workshops" link on this website contain information on some of my upcoming and also past workshops. 

          Photography itself taken seriously is a fantastic life experience, and you can use it for your creative personal art projects, to make money as a businss, as a hobby, or for all of the above. For me it has been all three. It has also been a uswful addition to my primary career as a research scientist. If you don't allow photography to help you see and experience things that you ordinarily would not see or notice, in my opinion you are missing out on a significant part of your life. Photography can be a doorway into unlimited experiences. It has done that for me!
