MRK in the Guardian?

Congrats MRK, I'd love it something like that happened to me!

I chose Photography at University but little known to some is that I dropped out of it half way through and went my own way because I realised it's just all about politics and everyone seems to become a critic. You can't really teach someone any form of art, you can show them techniques on how to use the tools avialable but they must discover the art alone and establish their own style with time. Years of being told what and how to do something in a class setting doesn't exercise creative thinking. I found this impossible to do in a course because it left no room to explore and you'd stray away from curriculum if you did which resulted in lower marks.

Couldn't agree more, I used to study design but dropped out also. The 'process' they made you go through felt stifling rather than creative. You can't force someone to be creative just because one method works for you...I'd rather focus on what I enjoy, whether it has meaning behind it or not, sometimes a pretty picture is enough.
 
I didn't mind that people were copying and reposting that cinemagraph but that one guy taking the credit for it was the one that made me sigh - I guess things work out one way or the other in the end :D

Cheers guys :)
