robbie, it isn't that far away. The only difference between these guys and the rest, is they dedicated themselves to making at least one great image. And you have many.

Photography is learned after the camera is figured out. Anyone can teach ISO, f/stops and shutter speeds. It's what you put in front of the lens afterwards that counts, and it is not brain surgery. Some make it harder than it is.

That's what is missing from most photo schools. They think photography is about the mechanics, and the gear. It's really about the subject. It can be done with the simplest tools. Just be aware of the thing you photograph and its forms. That's how artists view the world.
