Breaking those rules

Those DANG compositional rules are always getting in my way.  But, here is a little truth about me-I am a rule breaker!  I am the type to question rules and go outside the rules just to see what happens and photography is no different.  I think those compositional “guidelines” actually make images/art more attractive and sometimes we just don’t know why.  During my class with Wendy Schultz, I learned all about the rules and definitely what I was doing wrong.  (don’t you hate to know what you did wrong, then you look back with a more critical eye!)  She challenged me to incorporate as many rules as possible.  I came up with something lame but it got me thinking. 

I love that there is ART in everything!  The best part it that it is all subjective… what I like may not be what you like.  What I think is amazing and perfectly balanced and wonderful may look terrible to you-not possible.  : )  Anyhow, style is everything.  My style is a little funky and not so traditional.  I try to capture the original, unique, and clever-something that displays YOU.
