Went to the Princeton Photography Club this evening.  I am, I think, happy that I have done some of these classes and gone to presentations.  My photography has improved.  But the standard is very high and it does mean that I now know how much I need to do and learn to be a really good photographer.  And the reality is that I simply do not have the time to dedicate to it.  Just to take good photos, I need to be able to get away somewhere for several hours where there is no time pressure.  And then there is the mastering of Lightroom and Photoshop.  And then the using of it.  Not surprising that the vast majority of people attending the PPC are of an age where they are either retired or, at the very least, no longer have young kids!
