I find one of the best ways to improve is to actually spend some time looking at photography....

Almost since the birth of photography, political unrest and conflict have drawn photographers to capture the drama of the moment, and in some cases to offer comment through their work.


Magnum Photos was brought to life in the aftermath of World War II by photographers Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David "Chim" Seymour, each of whom was well acquainted with covering a changing world, where borders and allegiances were shifting as players set themselves for what was to become the Cold War.
 
I agree: looking at good photographs is one of the best paths to improving one's own photography. I've just been through a week of the Gallery here. That's a pretty good school too.
