The next time you head out to do a project, try doing your learning in the field and from your subjects; who better to tell the story than the people themselves? If you feel you need to learn about your subject matter ahead of the project, make sure you keep yourself open to the possibility that things may be different than you expected. Keep your mind open, be passionate about what you do and care about your subjects and always be willing to listen to all sides and hear all voices. You will find that you will be able to capture stories that no one else has. This is what journalism and storytelling is all about.
