Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.

I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques.

I took the process of doing as much myself as I could like a duck to water. I set up my own label and publishing, etc, and it was a fun learning curve two decades ago.

I think there's so much negative influence on children in school settings. It becomes learning by rote to pass a test. It's not contextualized.

Our learning ought to be our lives' amendment, and the fruits of our private study ought to appear in our public behavior.
