Sometimes if we are taught by a "so called expert" we get a little help, but quite often we're taught all the "bad habits and stuff" of the so called professional! :-( Something along the lines of.... "Those who can, do. Those who can't..... teach!" My number one son Ted jnr. Is in the education profession, a very fine teacher and motivator of students. So when I say that and he's around I have to duck! But your method of learning is quite similar as my own. So two of us can't be wrong! After all you've the bonus of being a Padre! ;-) All I've done is prayer hard at times when things got a tad wild during an assignment. It was keep my butt down and prayer hard! ;-) And the good thing too or I'd not likely being typing this. :-) Good luck again with the exhibition as I know it'll be great a fine feather in your cap as a photographer. ted
