Originally posted by clackers (Laughs). Education's been important to me, so I'm always signing up for classes and group shoots where somebody else does the organizing. There must be local Meetups or clubs in your area - New England, right?
I have limited funds for classes and even if I don't live in the middle of nowhere, you may be able to see it from here!. 22 Km to the nearest grocery store, 120 to the nearest Whole Foods, only 45-50Km to Walmart, (where I don't shop, ever.) So I drive 70 KM twice a month for major shopping at the Air Force Commissary in Bangor that I can use since I am retired from the Marine Corps and Army. Then just small stuff at the grocery stores and most other foods from our nearby farmer's market for meat and cheeses, greens and goat yogurt. Wife loves Lamb while I prefer beef and goat meat. The Jamaican Food guy does an amazing curry goat at this market as well as a great jerk chicken. We always try to go hungry and share the goat and a beef patty.
I will have to look at the adult education flyer that comes around next time. or go look on Craig's list. There is a place that teaches basic DSLR usage and PP but the class is like over $3K USD so that is a no go. Same with Hunt's photo classes, they are pricey also.
