I'm often talking about making money and shooting cost effectively. While, today I want to tell you something different, and to offer some inspiration. When people ask me where I learned photography, my answer is "in the bathroom." I'm self taught, and a lot of my knowledge comes from photography magazines (which I happen to like reading when I go to the bathroom). This may sound weird, but chances are that your weird too and just don't know it.
The most valuable lessons I've learned, could not have been taught to me by any person or reading material. It came from EXPERIENCE. Shoot every chance you get and never don't shoot because you feel the images won't be "salable". Even if you don't sell any images, it's never a waste of time. You learn new skills when shooting, and have great experiences. And sometimes, you will be surprised to find that you created some of the best images of your life on a day that you had no plans to shoot.
