Houston Center For Photography — Attraction in Houston

My 1-star rating is for the summer camp. My granddaughter was excited to enroll in the Candid City: Street Photography session. Based on the information she shared I strongly recommend you have more than one instructor to assist with minors walking in an unfamiliar neighborhood. She was instructed to roam the neighborhood and to meet back at a designated place. When she returned no one was there. After waiting for a while, she walked five blocks and ran into another student who said she was lost. Finally, they located the instructor who was unaware they were missing. The instructor said , "We are waiting for one more student". My granddaughter had to tell her two students were missing. The instructor did not have an accurate count of the students. This is a safety issue. Students walking alone unsupervised. This is a safety issue. The students did not have the phone number of the instructor in case they were lost. This is a safety issue. The students did not have name tags and were addressed as "hey you." This is an impersonal issue. The next day when she arrived, she was informed the group was at Discover Green. When her parents inquired as to why they were not told in advance? They were told an email was sent to my granddaughter. This is a communication issue. The parents should have been notified in advance. I recommend you provide an agenda for the week with daily details and locations. Please put safety first, be personable and communicate effectively. Parents are entrusting you with their children while...

This is an outstanding place to visit. The gallery and library are impressive. However, for someone relatively new to a DSLR camera and photography this is the place to learn how it all comes together. I took the entry level camera class with Christy. I learned more in the first two hours with the hands on training, education and explanations than I did in the last few years of reading the manuals and watching videos. I am retired and travel extensively. I have to admit that I 'bought' into the hobby of photography. I own some expensive cameras and lenses. For the last couple of years I've used them on Auto mode as a point and shoot. In her class, Christy showed how to use all of the features of the camera and how to compose and frame the shot. I wish I had taken this course two or three years ago. It is well worth the cost of tuition. I can't wait to take...

I was super excited to visit the Houston Center For Photography and it was on my list of galleries to visit. After leaving a near by museum my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to stop by so we did. As soon as we walked in I said “Hello” to the two guys sitting at the desk... neither of them said a word. Didn’t greet us at all... didn’t tell us anything about the gallery... NOTHING. One of the guys looked up and went back to doing whatever he was doing. I started to proceed further into the gallery to start viewing then I turned to my boyfriend and told him that I would rather leave because that was completely rude... so we left. As an artist and someone that visits galleries and museums quite often I was very turned off by that... I’ve never been to a gallery and was completely ignored before now. ...
