learning from others

When I got serious about learning photography in the late 1960's and early 1970's, I studied and read books by Ansel Adams, The Daybooks of Edward Weston, and many other renowned photographers of the time.  Throughout the years I was fortunate to attend various workshops by such great photographers/teachers as Cole Weston and Jerry Ulesmann.  Today, I still attend as many workshops as I can that help me to understand the latest technology in digital photography.  The internet is a great resource to learn from others, and why I follow well known professional photographers and teachers such as, Moose Peterson, Scott Kelby, Joe McNally, Serge Ramelli, and Matt Kloskowski.  For example, I just read a short comment on Moose Peterson's website about "Seeing" that resonated with me and hopefully I can apply to my own photography efforts.
