Learning by doing

I’m thinking about taking a photography class once I have a little spare cash on hand. I’m also thinking that I’ve been taking pictures since I took a basic photography class back in high school. I know what I’m doing, more or less. What I need is some kind of structure, some organizing principle, that will help me decide what to shoot and how to shoot it. Maybe I need to make a list — low light, landscape photos, portraits, action, etc. — and just work my way down it.

Then again, there are so many lovely gadgets and tools I don’t know how to use…

I don’t know. I tend to learn by doing. But I also tend to put off doing things I don’t already know how to do, because I have so many other things I already know how to do that I’m not doing. Taking a class might be a way to break that postponing habit.
