Lifelong learning

Yep - my name is Ceci and I am a lifelong learning junkie. I can't help it. I am compelled to continue learning things. The topics are irrelevant. It doesn't matter to me if they are work related, hobby related or just some new or revived skill (like knitting) - I need to learn as much as I need food, water and rest.

So, I try and set aside at least half a day each week that is for nothing other than learning something. Yesterday it was practicing new lighting techniques for my photography - using off-camera flash with an umbrella light modifying set-up. It took a while to really grasp balancing soft north-window light with a flash but after a while, I think I got it. Would you agree?

Thank goodness for my most patient model, Hoover.
