Classes especially but also a few books that stand out. I will say that I think better kit has helped me get shots I want, shots I may not have been able to get without them (I'm thinking "tripod" primarily) but in the final analysis tools don't make good photographs, good photographers do. As one of my instructors liked to say, "If you think a better [insert whatever] will improve your photography you just let me know. I'll give you access to all my pro-level gear and I'll shoot with yours. We'll go to the exact same location at the exact same time and shoot for a couple hours. At the end of the day, we'll see who has the better portfolio." I have no doubt he was dead-serious about the offer.....</blockquote>
