I love the small size of classes. It gives the students more one on one with the teacher. The price is very reasonable.David is easy to understand and patient. I recommend his classes to everyone and have passed his card to others. Thanks for being in Boise and having having such a warm and inviting workshop. - Tammy Redlich

I had a really great time in the class!! I learned a lot of very helpful information! I very much enjoyed your instruction David. Your personality and experience helped to make the class real and relevant for me! I have been practicing and looking forward to much more practice!! and more classes

David Marr teaches the technology and techniques of contemporary photography with an artist's eye for composition and light. His knowledge of cameras and lenses enables him to help students obtain optimal results with their own equipment, be it large format view camera, point and shoot, or high end DSLR. David's classes and photographic excursions are a delight, and his many stories are informative and entertaining. Students become so engaged that they often don't realize just how much they are learning. We have joined David and some of his other students on several excellent Cole Mare Photography Workshop excursions. Most recently, we went on his spring nine-day trip to Alaska. This was truly an outstanding experience, both because it was Alaska and because of excellent planning and accommodations arranged by David's wife and partner, Kristen Cole. The landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife are truly magnificent, all of which were amplified by David's knowledge based on numerous trips over more than 30 years. This Alaska trip, spring or fall, will be enjoyed by anyone who is interested in outdoor photography.

Dave L. Boise, ID 1/13/2011 After taking a bunch of photography classes and not really getting what I wanted, my girlfriend saw a Cole Marr workshop on Groupon and bought it. I went to the workshop with pretty low expectations. I was seriously surprised. I've been studying photography seriously for about 3 years and in the first 3 hours of the workshop over half of the nagging issues I had were resolved and everything came together. David is a gentle, knowledgeable instructor who has an uncanny ability to communicate the complexities of photography, specifically digital photography like I have yet to experience anywhere else in Idaho. I strongly recommend all of his classes if you are serious about photography or if you are serious about learning to maximize the digital camera you have. I can't really say anything about the coffee or the coffee house because I haven't tried it yet, but the art and the vibe is very cool. I'll be taking every class Cole Marr offers, they are that good.

i LOVE THESE PEOPLE I work right next door to Cole Marr at Salon 162, I see these two every single day. I am always greeted with a fresh happy smile and real conversation. The best coffee and lattes are served there, A fresh carafe of regular will be brewed if its not up to the standard! So much appreciated. I love the atmosphere, the live music is wonderful and the photography is incredible. I also love the snackies and treats you can get to accompany your coffee choice. they are always fresh and delicious! I am very much the connoisseur of coffee and snacks and good service. They also have free internet when you visit them! come in and see cole marr, they have an incredible photo studio and are wonderful loving people. they improve my days!

Great atmosphere –Lots of fun – David Marr and Kristen Cole always make you feel welcome. What a Beautiful Gallery ! David Marr is a knowledgeable Instructor. Cole-Marr Photography will take you step by step through “Photo 101” all the way through Film and Digital Darkroom and beyond to large format. Great Photo Classes and Workshops – both in the studio and on the road. (I love the Photography Road Workshop Trips.) You continue to learn (while having fun) with excellent photography instruction all day long. Cole-Marr are the “go to” people for help in camera and accessory selection that is right for you. Small Class sizes so you really get a lot of personal attention! David Marr never tires of answering the “same old questions” over and over again. I can attest to that as I was and still am one of those students! Thanks for a wonderful experience! Madalyn Reilly

These workshops are incredible. Great learning and lots of fun!

I really loved the workshops! It really helped me to understand how my camera behaves with what I am asking it to do!!
