so far in my photographic career, i've been self taught. so to get some experience with event photography, i've been taking pictures for my school yearbook (there's quite a dearth of "real" photographers). so the coordinator sent this email out to the school asking if people want to take pictures even if they have no experience. they even said they'd be offering money for people to take classes over the summer. mind you they had absolute beginners in mind for this. now i, in a hurry, misread the email and replied saying i was interested.
now this got me thinking. i don't mean to sound above it all or anything like that, but i feel i'm above a beginner class. although, some of my photog friends recommend i take it nonetheless since i'm self-taught. so i'm not sure what i should do. i feel like class of that nature is a bit degrading but some seem to think i'd benefit despite my experience. what should i do?
(sorry if this doesn't make sense or anything to that nature, it's very late at night as i'm posting this)
