I think it is the responsibility of "any" "good" teacher to bring the path to the student and not just walk the pupil through the rough edges. I am a firm believe taking the student through the burning fire but giving them the tools...let me repeat...giving them the tools that will guide the student through the experiences that will inevitably teach them. I do not spoon feed anybody. That is not my way of teaching. The way I learnt photography was by making mistakes andby doing it the wrong way. I was able to appreciate so much about photography by going the whole copurse and doubling back..sometimes missing the answer right under my nose. The day I learnt "reciprocity"..I felt like I was armed and ready for any situation, however it took a long time for me to understand that the mistakes I was making was directly linked to this ( ? ) that I knew nothing about..did not even knew it existed. The women in the pictures show their sense of detachment from what they are soemtimes forced to do rto make a living...that should have triggered off further questions.....the fact that you did not ask you those questions could mean that you did not see their detachment or you viewed my pics with your own agenda:-0 I have 20 pics to show at the ICP on April 4. These have a longer story board. Remember also, I shot these images in only four days. It took a lot of work just to get access..but that is another lesson:-) I cannot tell you to drink..I can only provide the beverage. I am not saying that here I have provided the single picture that explains the whole..what i have shown you is a sample of a series I just started. I guess I am teaching patience here:-) Thanks for the heads up though:-) Ruddy > Don't forget, Ruddy, ... you were going to teach with your images.
