Sharing the knowledge

This is something I have always believed in, sharing knowledge. I’ve spent years learning to get better at photography and creating art. Many times it was a struggle. Sometimes the battle to improve was due to not having others share their knowledge. They guarded their expertise as some top-level trade secret even though they were hobbyist photographers or, at least, not making vast sums of money. Some of these same people had “secret” locations, you know locations that they didn’t believe anyone else knew about. I’m just not that type of person. I enjoy helping others learn. I enjoy helping others create. Not only does it help that person but I believe it helps me learn and improve as well. Sharing knowledge and teaching keeps me fresh and up-to-date on a topic. It also often provides interaction and I end up learning a bit from those I’m helping.

This has also helped me by being able to meet a wide array of people who are also interested in creating art. This wide array of creative people has helped shape and expand my world views.

This entire idea of helping others learn and working with others to create art will soon expand more than I have done in the past. Let’s build and learn together!
