A book that was a sensation a decade or so back was entitled, How to Swim with the Sharks. It was written by imminently successful businessman Harvey McKay. He made a lot of good points. One was that when you are learning a skill, you are well-served by seeking out the best in the given field as your instructor. It isn't rocket science, but it is so seldom done. Although this post is from a commercial web site, I thought I might try to do this to assist my film instruction (I only claim professional expertise in still photography, although I enjoy video production too). I hope to increase my travel more back to normal this year, so maybe I'll get to do this. I felt some of you may also want to know about it as well.
