After many years of hard work and love for my trade, with much time spent teaching educational programs to Professional Photographers, I am proud to have recently received my Photographic Craftsman Degree from Professional Photographers of America.
They sent me a letter to post which basically reads:
Eli has met the standards of excellence set by the Professional Photographers of America. He has been awarded the Photographic Craftsman degree in Recognition of his service to the photographic profession as an Orator, author and mentor.
PPA, worldwide association, exists to assist it’s more than 22,000 members in achieving their professional, artistic and fraternal goals; promote public awareness of the profession; and to advance the making of images in all of its disciplines as an art, a science, and a visual recorder of history.
As they say to achieve our highest dreams, we must be willing to put in the time and effort that is what this degree is all about; Time, effort, love, creativity and patience. If it weren’t for my family, friends and clients, I would not have been able to fulfill my dream to become a Professional Photographer.
To My clients, I truly appreciate your trust in me and faith in my photographic abilities and allowing me to be your historian. Thank you all!
