Pikes Peak Community College Professional Photography Department

This is Prof. Kimbrell. With great regret I must tell you that I have resigned as Photography Chair and faculty from PPCC.

It has been a great 12 years and I wish I did not have to leave. I have watched countless students grow in their photography skills and many go on to open their own businesses. I am so very grateful for my time spent with you at PPCC. You, my students, have brought joy to my life and I have learned along with you for these many years.

If you would like to stay connected, visit me at MotherNaturePhotography.com, there is also a Facebook link on my website.

Keep shooting!

Alright students - It's time to teach your instructor about Facebook! I have a business page: https://www.facebook.com/MotherNaturePhotography?fref=ts - but how do I get more people to Like and Share it? It seems to be all in the Sharing... I think learning how to use Facebook and other social sites for marketing could be a class all on its own! Who would need that class? ~ Prof. Kimbrell
