Jerome you do yourself and others injustice. ' Boring ' pictures ? by whose standards.
Imagine a world where one lone surviving ' artist ' uses all the attributes of composition, has all the time in the world and creates a masterpiece.
He has created all these Works of ' Art '
One day, while cleaning, he comes across a ' snapshot ' of his now long lost family.
His wife, children, father, mother.
Professor Mante is good. Very very good.
But Landscapes, static designs, rules of composition don't move me.
People do. However boring they might be.
Quick, very quick now...name a photo from the Vietnam conflict. Just one.
More currently, The Japanese tragedy . Which pictures have moved you the most!
The destroyed buildings, chairs, cars, landscape or even the shrines? I know my answer.
What's yours?
p.s Our lone survivor also finds a book by Professor Mante. He can keep one.
The snapshot or the collected works of Mr. Mante. He chooses. Which one do you think?
I know which one I would keep. In my memory, in my heart and on my self.
You, me, all of us are human beings. That which moves the human soul..the common denominator.
Those are my rules for composition. If only I could get a handle on them.
