“I have learned the love of photography from him; from the onset of knowing him he has always had a camera by his side or in his hands.

Early on he also taught me how to develop my own pictures, and now the digital age Don has come into his own creating some great works of art through his creative eyes.”

- L. Savastano, Fan of Thiergard

“Thiergard has an incredible eye & innate sense of timing.

His photos create a sense of intimacy with the viewer; capturing your attention with their composition, and keeping it with the beautiful narrative his subjects create. Truly compelling.”

- J. Kleean, Fan of Thiergard

“Don’s artistic vision always pleases me. I find myself studying his choices in color, subjects and clarity.”

- T. Savastano, Fan of Thiergard

“Yes! He was SUCH a fun, great teacher. Had nicknames for everyone. I’ll always remember him!

“Oh gosh: Donald Thiergard. Loved him to bits.

He and Douglas Dannay were brilliant teachers at a time when so many others were just going through the motions. Grateful to them.”
