My Uncle Izzy taught me photography many, many years ago. He is long gone but his daughter still apologizes for how hard he was on me when he would have me pull out the slide projector so he could view my work.

He made me a better photographer and since then I have always sought out those who either know more than me or that I felt was a peer who understood what I was trying to do. Isn’t that why we also take classes in photography? In fact my uncle made me take a photo class (full-on B&W with processing, printing, etc.) way back in the 80’s so that I could put everything together.

I mean why do we come to the blog if we do not want to learn? Part of learning is that someone taught you. If they teach you then they have critiqued your work somehow, someway.
