    The Importance of Learning New Skills as a Photographer

    Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.”

    That’s a quote from one of the most successful entrepreneurs in modern history, Henry Ford.

    What it means is that you can always learn something new. This is especially true in photography.

    Digital photography gives photographers many ways to keep on learning new things.

    Some new things will involve learning a new process or technique, some are centered on learning how to use new equipment, while others require us to adjust to new trends and needs in the marketplace.

    Whatever it is it’s always... ALWAYS Important to learn new skills and it this episode I explain why!
