FIELD NOTES / LEARNING
A small, steady practice

Make room
for something new.

A four-week guide to learning the basics of photography. Less collecting links, more making time to practice.

The goal

Tell a story
in five photos.

The rhythm
3 × 30

Three short sessions each week

What you need

A camera.
Your curiosity.

A phone is a good place to start.

  • What will I do differently next time?

Your reference shelf

Add the books, articles, and examples that help you practice. Keep the list short enough to use.
