any photo school faqs?

I'm looking for faq's (or other sources of info) on pros and cons of various photography schools... Within the contiguous states, preferably. Couldn't find much on DejaNews; does anyone know of such a thing?


---------------------

I haven't seen much discussion of photo schools in any of the rec.photo website's. It depends on what kind of photography you are into.

One tip I can give. Avoid school, take some of those workshops and week long "colleges" sponsored by pro photo associations. I swear you will learn more in one intense week than you could in two years of a main stream school. These programs are led by those at the top of the profession. They usually show what they do, how they do it, WHY they do that way, how they market it and sell it, what gear they use and who their suppliers are. (in the last decade, this point has been diluted by the suppliers and manufacturers sponsoring the seminars.)

the programs run from 4-500 to a grand or more for a week, and most are well worth it. Photography is a business that you can learn as you go, though you can be type cast or stuck in a rut.
