however i disagree, you can teach people the basics of a decent image. where to place something in a frame, how to avoid ugly background and foreground clutter. i do also agree that you can't teach talent. you can teach technique. but hey i just do it for fun. i may exhibit at a mates pub when i have had plenty of fun when i get my dslr.
edit: also how do you know classes are bollocks if you have never taken one.....
and i love the selfpotrait you posted in the photog thread

i actually have taken one now that i think about it (against my will i believe...) in high school. they told us WHAT to photograph and HOW to photograph it
also i think things like "rule of 3rds" and not to cut peoples heads off and about mergers and stuff which is bullshit because it completely depends on the photograph and what YOU as the artist want to happen and the point you want to get across
oh thank you btw
