Before we created time zones, every village, town, and city had their own local time.

You'd set the town's clock according to when the sun was at its highest point each day and

everything was fine.

Eventually life got faster.

Trains began moving between towns and small differences in time began to cause problems.

This eventually led to the creation of time zone so we could get everyone in the world on the same page as far as what time it is.

Have you ever been on a trip and wondered why your photos don't turn out like the images you see in travel magazines?

If you're going to spend thousands of dollars on a trip and hundreds to thousands of dollars

on a camera, you owe it yourself to get the highest quality images from your trip.

That's why I created the Travel Photography Academy. I set

out to travel around the world in 2007 with an expensive camera and I had no

eventually mastering it to a point where I was named travel photographer the year three times in North America.

The Travel Photography Academy is an online course that teaches you everything you need to know to master your camera

and to take better photos on your next trip. To improve your photography and to get better images
