How did you learn about photography?

[kkraczek]

As a newbie, I am fascinated by the amount of information that I have to learn about photography. From where I stand, it looks like a pretty steep learning curve. My question is, how did you learn what you know now? Did you take classes, read books, just experiment? This website has already opened my eyes to just how much I have to learn- but sometimes I'm not even sure what questions to ask! Thanks to Photo-John for this awesome site!
