Mentoring..

So here is what I'm thinking...I would like to mentor with a photographer for a day. To pick her brain, to see what i'm doing wrong, to see what i should be doing going forward. Not necessarily to build a business but to just take better pictures in general. While I do want to have this become a business, I really just want to be better at something that makes me happy.

But how do you approach someone? How do you say...Hey, can I tag around with you for a day and pick your brain?? Is that insulting? Is it a complement? Is it a complete pain in the rear end for someone to ask so many questions.

I have become a blog stalker for so many photographers just waiting...patiently...for someone to offer out a little nugget of information about how they achieved a certain something in their photos...

Ugh! this is so hard.
