Nice post Russ, and I can honestly say, I have been here on this site since late 2003 as a lurker, 2004 as a member and about 2005 or 6 as a moderator and I have watched (and helped) people come on here without a clue to which way they should point their camera, learn from observation, participate by asking the right questions, apply what they have learned, repeat, grow in ability, learn more, share what they have learned, start shooting for small clients (rec leagues, little leagues, clubs) on a regular basis, and then start shooting on regular basis for big organizations, wires, magazines, become team photographers for NCAA teams, Pro Soccer teams, and so on. I firmly believe that next to taking photo classes in high school/college, this website is one of the best places to learn and really define you as a photographer.
Well done...
