We all want to get better at photography. It's in our nature to be wanting to better in anything we do, be it professionally or as a hobby.
we would spend a good amount of time looking for that perfect lens and camera, deciding whether to film or digital, attending master classes, reading articles about that famed photographer.
Every little bit of knowledge helps you become a better photographer. But is it enough ?
The concept of schooling is, to fundamentally equip you with a basic survival skill. But whether you make it big in real life or, 2cm off the margin, it all depends on your hard work and a bit of luck.
Coming from a serious hobbyist POV, let's assume we have all the cameras, lenses, accessories, books we could ever need. We could continue to stay in school and remain "un-declare" with our study, or we could explore the real world. It's perfectly fine either way. I did in fact, prolong my stay in the university, and I had a great time.
Moving up to the next stage in Photography is tough. There isn't a guideline telling you what you must, or mustn't do in order to succeed.
How do you determine what success in photography is ? money and fame ? Leica makes you their brand ambassador ? your work is displayed at National Gallery ?
What is the next stage ? or maybe it's best to slow down, and take one small step at a time.
