I do consider books to be part of self teaching.  So, mark me down for that path.

Learned a lot from the people around me, but I suppose technically self taught here.

A combination of the two. Studied painting for a long time. I taught myself how to use a camera, but everything I know about composition, lighting, etc comes from my background as a painter.

Self taught at first, then one of Ansel Adam's students took me under his wing for a bit.  Had a buddy who is a photoshop guru show me the ropes, then showed other photographers how do to certain "things", and they shared their secrets.  Met a lot of fun people doing that.
