Ambulando Discimus

We learn by going about

From the cartoon strip Kingpin by Dean Davidson

by Don Davidson: Ambulando discimus is Latin, meaning "we learn by going about." The phrase is most often attributed to Abraham Flexner (1866-1959), who wrote the book The American College: A Criticism.

In the heyday of photojouralism, my dream was to have a byline in National Geographic or Life magazines: "Story and photos by Don Davidson." This blog, written in Flexner's spirit of learning by going about, is my personal expression of the spirit of those legendary magazines.

"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence." - Ansel Adams
