About Us

Both Bill and Sue Cassidy are retired teachers (Bill as a second career after working for the government for thirty years) , and both have a passion for photography, particularly nature photography.  Bill has a degree in professional photography from Rochester Institute of Technology, making him the true photographer of the pair.  Sue has been involved in picture-taking only since the digital revolution. 
Both love to travel and to see beautiful places, and also love to capture  the things they see in photographs. 

 
They have had two successful shows of their photos in a small gallery in Baltimore, and participated in many art and craft shows in Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia with their work. 
When, after retirement, they decided to put their thousands of photos to some use, their daughter suggested they turn it into functional art--and their small business, Teachers With Cameras, was born.  They now put their creative talents into creating ceramic and glass coasters, trivets, cutting boards and other objects that can be used daily, and also appreciated for their uniqueness and beauty.  

The Commercial Spot

We are now offering a series of photographic items for sale. Click below to see galleries and ordering information.

Photo tiles and other dye-sublimation items

We put our pictures on ceramic tiles that can be used for decorative purposes or as coasters. We also have a fairly extensive line of other useful and decorative items that we can add photos to. Or we can put your photos on any items for a personalized look. We also make wooden memory boxes with the tiles mounted in their lids. These make wonderful gifts!

Have Cameras, Will Travel!

Traveling and photography just seem to go together--at least for Bill and Sue Cassidy. Wherever we go, our cameras go with us, and we have thousands of shots to show for it! We have photo galleries with some of our best shots to share with others. We also offer comments on the more recent spots we have visited.

Fireworks!

Recently we were fortunate enough to see the Mid-Atlantic Fireworks Festival, a twice-yearly event held in Southern Maryland. The night was perfect for viewing, and the show is outstanding! To see some of our photos, visit the two galleries below. For more information about the festival, visit www.maff.ws
