During his 30-plus years with the company, Nikon has come to rely on Paul’s unusual ability to take extremely complex photographic technologies, techniques and concepts and distill them so that they are easy to understand. This ability, mixed with a healthy dose of humor, makes his seminars both informative and entertaining.
In addition to being an educator, Paul is a creator, author, photographer and the "Button & Menu" expert on the Nikon team.
