Great portraits <> Flattering

As previously mentioned, I'm taking an advanced photography class at Objectifs.  

It's so refreshing to learn & practice a non-work related skill.  I've tried Coursera, Kahn Academy, CodeAcademy, Rosetta Stone, Adobe Tutorials, etc, but I need more structure.  I usually drop out during Stage 2 of learning (i.e., when it gets hard).

Going to a physical class 1x per week makes me more disciplined outside of class (i.e., going on photo shoots, reading photography blogs, analyzing photography books, etc).

A few weeks ago, we learned about Diane Arbus, a famous portraitist.  Her work fascinates me.

I'm a bad driver.  I can't deny it.  But, at some point, I was a better driver than I am today.
