Photography

I love making photos. Take me out for a walk and I want to have a camera in hand. I purpose to make photos from unique perspectives and show unique things. Even a walk in my own back yard can give lots of opportunity to create powerful images.

The four most important rules of photography that I follow...


 * Rule of Thirds**


 * Don't cut at a limb.** It may sound simple, but I have had arguments with colleagues about just how horrible this can be. In short. Don't have a persons joint cut off by the edge of the photo. If you must cut part of a person, do so in-between joints.


 * Don't grow out of their head** It sounds simple but many mess this one up. Look behind the object in the photo and don't have trees growing out of their heads, or street lights curving out of their head, or railings out their mouths.


 * Make the photo unique to tell a story** Made photos likely are not taken from the same viewpoint as everyone else. What if you hold your camera above your head, what if you hold it against a wall, what if you lie on the ground????
