“You know, I really don’t think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be – you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.”

-Garry Winogrand

Teachers really don’t teach you, if anything they give you a nudge in the direction they think you should go. When you do your work, you find what best fits you and you learn from yourself. If you don’t understand something or don’t know what to do, than you look at examples, and through the example’s you are able to understand and create your own work. When we take a photo of the same topic and we look at others work, we become our biggest critic because we compare what we see to what we have. We learn from seeing other work and from others work’s we are able to self identify what we need to work on and how we can get to that point of advancement. We learn to know what we want and we learn to know how to get to that point. The reason why we become critics is because we are actually interested in what we do and find enjoyment in it.
