Photography As A Hobby

One of my realizations the past week had something to do with one of my hobbies – photography. I think that I have not learned anything new in the last months or even years and have basically stagnated.

Yes, I used to be proud of the fact that I know shat about photography, don’t read on it and that I just somehow end up with “good” photos. These days, saying that is a disgrace.

I realize that photography, as in any hobby, must be studied. One must read what one can and when one has time.

Like any other hobby, say for example, philately (my, how geeky :P ), you just don’t keep on collecting stamps and mounting them up on albums. You read on how to properly remove stamps from envelopes and what are the best ways (what kind of album and what kind of mounting tape) to preserve them. You read on the history of stamps in general, history of stamps from a particular country (say, the Philippines) and say, the nature of commemorative and themed stamps as well as first day covers if you have any. You may also read on the value of your stamps in the market if that interests you.
