We keep learning things till the time we don't die. Sometimes we want to learn and sometimes they are forced but we do learn. Photography is something which I do want to learn. I have given my self this time span of a year in which I want to collect all the elements. which I can use to develop my own style in photography. I came to an institute to learn because I knew that if I approach different people for different styles myself, maybe it'll take ages to reach there. But an institute can give me this chance to meet people from this industry with different vision and different style.Which makes it easier for me to develop my own sense of photography.
Initially as the course started it went above my expectations. I was very happy with the kind of teaching environment we had. But as few months passed everything became unorganized and undisciplined. And there just one prospective we could follow or we were opened to. It looks as if one style ruling our mind. I learnt a lot in this institute,maybe more than what i thought of. But now is the time i need a change a big change. Because i feel stuck now, I feel i am not growing anymore. Nobody is talking about creativity , infect i am not learning anything new now.
so I am waiting for institute to bring us back to the class. So that we can learn more and develop our styles.

Actually you'll be surprised at how easily people stop learning in their lives and how resistant they are to learning after a point. Most people unfortunately associate learning with school, academics, classes, notes, exams, mugging...all these unpleasant things :)
ReplyDeleteBut all around us we are surrounded by the opportunity to learn. From people. from incidents, from nature, from experience, from adventure, books, music...the list is long. The truth is though, that it is easier to pick up the bad stuff than the good.
Your disillusionment is justified and your yearning to learn is admirable. Don't worry, it's not falling on deaf ears, this is a deep concern. In the meanwhile, however, I would suggest that YOU don't restrict yourself to only one perspective. You are surrounded by people who can teach you things which may not seem directly connected to photography but may give you new insights.
