Yes Andoni, so true!.!.!.and just when you think you've got the hang of something you discover a new aspect!. True of most areas of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Now your talking about a sinking feeling, is that because you still have lots to learn!?
I like to think about it this way, if your doing something e!.g!. photography and your learned EVERYTHING about it you were the expert at it, would i be fun!?
As soon as you stop learing it loses the fun!
Another example,
ever had a job that you masterd in the first month!?
How much longer did you stay at that job!?

It's happened to me more recently than ever before!. When I see the work of some people on Flickr (etc), it makes me ask what business I even have holding a camera!.

There is so much to learn and so little time – if I am going to continue to make a living at my chosen professions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I LOVE learning new things! I try to learn something new each day, any subject!. Because I enjoy photography, I am exhilarated when I learn something new!.!.!.so there's lots to look forward to!

All the time!.

I find that when I teach others I learn more and have a better understanding!.

I'm no where near the level of those that I idolize, but I'm glad that they have set such a high pedistal for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You forever need to hang around the "Tree of Knowledge" if you want to be successful!.

For that reason, after nearly 40 years behind a camera, I still attend a photo class from time to time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i feel that every day!. and yet i still manage to squeeze out a few good images once in a while!.
y'know in all honesty sometimes the good images suprise me!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Aww nuts!. You mean it never stops!?

I havent even come close to thinking that I know what I am talking about!.!.!.!. errr!.!.!.!. I mean: I havent even come close to knowing everything!. LOL

As some would say, It's a learning process!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
