For the last 9 years, Digital Photo Academy has been based in
Manhattan, New York. Certainly the photo ops are unending in that
locale, as they are in the 20+ other major U.S. cities where live
classes are offered. The slide show above showcases the new Digital
Photo Academy headquarters and hopefully you agree that these images
reflect a scenic setting for the new DPA offices as well as year round
photo ops in any direction one points their lens. (Note the round
stone building up on a hill, seen in the slide show during winter and
fall season. That is our new headquarters, formerly a gun powder mill
that was built in 1828, and owned by the Dupont family who made their
fortune on gun powder sold during the Civil War. Across the way is a
41 acre park, donated to the public by the Delano family, (Franklin
Delano Roosevelt). It once was the setting for the aqueduct that
powered the gun powder mill and the remnants of the stone housing
remain, freckled amongst small waterfalls, chimneys and fireplaces,
all great for landscape and portrait shoots). In fact, the DPA team is
thrilled to work out of the Hudson Valley region. Spend anytime in the
area and it becomes clear as to how the late 19th century artists of
the Hudson River School became the first coherent movement of American
Art. Check out WIkipedia reference at

Metro North from Grand Central Station, $30 round trip, DPA staff will
collect you at the Beacon station and drive you around for the
duration of the full event. The day will start with a lesson in
Shutter Speed Control at a local waterfall also allowing you to
capture local historic charm along the way.
