How I did it: saw a course announced on the newspaper and decided I wanted to go for it. Started asking around if someone was selling a used camera and found one in mint condition, bought it and the rest is history...

Lessons & tips: -observe, there can be a million shots in a single place, -take tons of pictures (I learned more from taking pictures than from the course itself)
-learn to "smell" light and use all light sources to your advantage
-admire other photographers and their works, it can be inspirational
-look at life as if its a movie, will open up your perspective and give you great photo ideas
