Giving gardening presentations and workshops has become a regular part of my spring schedule yet it is something I rarely seem to talk about here. What’s worse is that I have been noticing a growing disconnect between the things I add to the site and the things I talk about at these events. Looking back I think it’s got to be the fact that I am so exhausted by the end of spring that I just kind of move on and lose the excitment to share. Last spring I wrote, designed (with photos) and gave eight completely lectures within a months time! My New Year’s resolution is to start integrating all of these different aspects into this site.

About half the art teachers I had were self-worshipping snobs... or just very bitter. Don't let that experience taint your interest in photography. Rachel: No it is definitely not the end!

What an inspirational article you wrote. I recently took (and dropped) my first photography college class. The teacher was one a good friend of mine loved and revered. This was not the same teacher I experienced, he was a hotshot self-worshiping art snob. This class grieved me (and emptied my wallet). I regret not having had the good photography class experience, but your words kind of helped me laugh a little and realize that it's not The End.
