School? Home? Neighborhood? Church?
Where do you learn?
I am fortunate to have a solid upbringing in a loving family and was privileged to graduate from both college and graduate school. These 7 years of post-high school higher learning were wonderful and gave me the opportunity to learn a whole lot. I sometimes look back on those years fondly and even wish I could recapture the joy of living in those years.
But I am discovering the joy of learning something new just about every day.
I don’t think it is so much the place that provides learning as it an attitude and lifestyle. How many people do you know who hated school? For all those who enjoyed the process, like I did, there were probably and equal number of students who absolutely hated the learning process.
I had great teachers, too. They taught me not only the subject material but great life lessons as well. I am grateful to them for their dedication and willingness to share these lessons with me. And I will never forget them nor be able to repay them.
Learning now is less formalized in my life. I occasionally attend continuing education events and seminars, but I find myself turning to the internet to learn more. Photographically speaking, I have discovered a wealth of online websites that have literally tons of information on the subject of photography. I will eventually be posting some of these links on my website.
So, where do you learn? Do you even want to learn anything anymore? If so, where will that learning take place?
