The
other day a friend dropped by and I asked him why was he so late and he
answered he has got a meeting, when I probed further he told us that he
actually has got a meeting with his Photography Club. I went on to say wow that
was nice learning about photography and of course a person joins this sort of
club for various reasons obviously. You can learn and interact at the same
time, but what if a person just wants to learn Photography themselves? Will it
be difficult? People tend to think that you must attend a professional course
or at least a club but I think at this age where everything is just a click
away a determined person can learn just about anything through self taught or
the internet. It is of course to a person’s advantage if there were courses available
and meeting with a group is always fun and hands-on is the way to go. Some of
the great photographers are self taught and their works get snapped up by
famous magazines, so to me, it is up to a person’s ability to produce great
things and everyone is entitled to their own ways of grasping and learning
things, to me, knowledge is acquired through great determination, you read up,
you go out and practice and through the trails and errors you correct yourself.
That is the fun way of photography, there is no fast rules! Some of my favourite photographs;
