Learning is never easy.
Nicole Lee July 15th, 2008

I’m learning new things about my camera every time I pick it up, which is fantastic, and I’ve been thinking about trying to get some of my new stuff looked at by professionals to get a few pointers.
But at the same time I’m starting to think that doing it on my own may be a better way to really hone my skills.
I mean, can you call yourself a photographer, if you are self taught?
A cook?
A dancer?
An actor?
I’m afraid of losing that edge that comes with not knowing all about something. I’m afraid of falling into the, “Well, if someone who knows more about it tells me it’s so, then it must be!” mentality. I think I’ll hold off for a while, and just take a little while longer “not knowing”, and we’ll see what comes from that.
