I think the internet has really changed our ideas about how new photographers are cultivated and mentored... and not entirely in a good way.

It's so wonderful to have one-on-one discussion in real space with a real person, especially if that person is an experienced photographer who can give personalized advice. I'm afraid that what the internet has done is make new photographers (like myself) think they don't need that kind of interaction so much- they can just look at examples online or read any of the canned recipes that people proffer on a multitude of websites.

I just wonder if apprenticeship really exists, in the same sense that it existed a few decades ago.
