    Jason did an excellent job of slowing down the process of HOW to shoot street photography in Manhattan. He watched the way we shot and gave useful feedback to us accordingly. He also took the the time with set ups, camera settings and how to shoot and move in a crowd. I'd be happy to go out with him again. He made it fun!
