They share these skills during classes at McKay Photography Academy, where they train eyes, fingers, and imaginations to work in tandem as a snapshooting dream machine. Their classes help aspiring photographers progress from neophytes to seasoned pros; the Beginning Digital Photography course teaches students to harness the intricacies of their instruments, and the Pro Academy offers inside tips on how to successfully snap wedding portraits, pose recent grads, or tease out candid emotions. When not busy instructing the next generation of shutterbugs, David and Ally also devise photo safaris, which send small teams of photographers to capture shots of famed landmarks including San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge; the Lincoln Memorial of Washington, DC; or Yosemite's 60-foot statue of Yogi Bear.

TThe Groupon Guide to: Hibernating Animals

All of the earth’s animals hibernate, whether to stay warm and conserve energy throughout the winter or to avoid making eye contact with a roommate during the two weeks you gave her to pack up and vacate. Sleep peacefully with this guide to hibernating animals:

Squirrels: As temperatures drop, squirrels instinctively begin hoarding nuts for the winter, like a sensible creature that can provide for itself. What would be really nuts would be it cramming its home with something useless, such as old bicycle parts and stacks of newspapers that it claims will one day be turned into “3-D collages” for an upcoming “gallery show.”

Bears: Noble giants of the forest, bears are capable of waiting out the winter by sleeping for months at a time—not unlike certain people’s roommates who are somehow able to sleep through entire five-hour windows in the middle of the day even though the Internet guy is coming by. Bears are also known to take the food of others as their own.

Bats: These nocturnal mammals often make their nest somewhere warm, such as someone else’s house, even though they’re not welcome, and neither is their Austrian boyfriend whose refusal to get his own place made a lot more sense once you found out they were secretly married.

Can humans hibernate?
