I am classically trained in music, from college and chose not to do a damned thing with it after all those years. Photography was never taught to me on such a deep and formal level and it has become very personal because of that. I sought education to an extent and shunned it on another level. I love being able to take a "rule" and trying it out. I also love being able to just shoot. They are both great and both worthwhile for anyone. After 15+ years out of music school I finally find myself able to listen to classical music - and it is absolutely amazing to NOT think about all the history, theory, analysis, etc. but I am also extremely glad to know all of it anyway.
