Chapter Sixteen
Zoe pushed her fringe out of the way for the hundredth time as she pulled things from the current box she was working on. She'd lost track of how much stuff she'd unpacked and carried so far today. She also found herself wanting to book into an actual hotel room and have a actual bath. Showers were good, but she missed being able to relaxing.
"After this Greg needs help in the bar tent," a guy whose name Zoe couldn't recall said. She huffed and nodded. She finished pulling everything out and stood up to stretch. She left the tent she'd been in and realised the clouds were actually clearing a little. She wandered to the other tent and walked into an empty place.
"Hello?" she asked, taking another half step forward. She heard a crash from behind the counter.
"Here! Sorry, ow," A male voice said and she realised he must've been working behind the bar. Based on the way he was rubbing the back of his head Zoe must've startled him.
"Are you okay?" she asked. He waved a dismissive hand and stood up.
"I'm good, are you the new helper Francis sent over?" he asked. Zoe took a few seconds to remember that had been the other guys name.
"Yes, does that mean you're Greg?" she asked.
"Yup. Follow me to the back, we need to get this place set up for tonight. Which means we needs the fairy lights and stage sorted and all the drinks unpacked. The tables, chair...you get the idea," Greg explained. Zoe nodded and followed him to a part of the tent that was hidden from her view last time.
"More boxes," she sighed. Greg laughed and pulled one open.
"There should be a step-ladder somewhere, and a power supply," he explained. Giving vague directions with his hand. Zoe wandered round the clutter and eventually found both, though one had to be unburied from beneath boxes.
"So, looks like you and your brother are settled in," Greg asked.
"I guess," Zoe shrugged. She held out a hand for the next section of fairy lights to weave through the ties of rope on the ceiling of the tent and continued working.
"Though, Glenn made friends with Petra, which personally I don't think was clever," Greg said, handing more over. Zoe raised an eyebrow at him from the top of the stepladder.
"Why?" she asked, recognising the name somewhere in the back of her mind, but unable to locate its actual source. Greg laughed before he realised she really didn't know.
"Well, there are some stories surrounding her past, she's been around a while. Everyone knows she hates Caric, yet she chooses to stay here. And, well...I just think she always has her own agenda. I don't want your brother getting used is all," Greg explained and Zoe suppressed a laugh as she realised what was bothering him.
"Glenn's gay. So it's doubtful he'll fall for her," Zoe said. Greg shook his head.
"I didn't mean that. Though not falling for her can only be a good thing. I've tried getting close to her to figure out her game but she's too smart for that sort of stuff," Greg explained. And Zoe thought college was full of gossips and sneaks. Zoe demounted from the step ladder and looked around while she thought. Glenn wouldn't do anything dumb. Not unless he was desperate for something. Then she remembered the way he looked slightly distressed when she told him she was okay. She put it down to his own adjustment issues. But if he's working with this Petra person to get them both away from here then...well how would he do it?
"Is there anything around here that's dangerous. I mean to Caric, not us," Zoe asked.
"The lycans, duh," Greg said. Zoe sent him a mini glare for the last part before turning to leave.
"Where are you going?" Greg yelled after her.

Sail Date: January 25, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Enjoyed this new ship. One complaint was the lack of stairs by the centre elevators at the higher decks - made the elevators congested and had to go to the port/stern stairs. Also, the food (especially beef) seemed to be lesser quality and made us wonder if the best cuts were going to the specialty restaurants, which you have to pay for, of course. Liked the Love Boat them song by Jack Jones when we got on board but my oh my heard it a lot throughout! Great HD large-screen TVs in the staterooms with a lot of choice of good programming. Liked especially the movie being available that had show on Movies Under the Stars the night before.

A crossword puzzle, you say? What on earth could be healthy about doing a puzzle--and besides, who could possibly have time for a crossword when there are basically a billion other things to do today? (I, uh, might be putting words into your mouth here.) But check this out...
New research published in Archives of Neurology is showing that people who engage in mentally stimulating activities throughout their lives have less buildup of beta-amyloid protein in their brains when they're older. Beta-amyloid is the main component of the plaques that are associated with Alzheimer's.
Not into crossword puzzles? Researchers say that reading books or newspapers, writing letters or emails, going to the library, or playing games are all solid mind-sharpening activities, too.
Hey, I'll bet Words With Friends counts! At least, I hope it counts--I have, like, five games going on simultaneously right now. I may even be winning one of them.
Do you do puzzles--crosswords or otherwise--or play games regularly? What are the ways you like to give your brain a bit of a challenge?

Since that time, Crown Peak Publishing has published Ann's award-winning children's picture books and her Happy Dog Art greeting cards, along with other Colorado authors' novels and children's books.
Oh Ann, I'd love to be able to help you in any way possible to get these books out to children – it is such a good message Honey gives. Now days kids need all the encouragement they can get not to be a "duck" if you will. Absolutely positively love it.Pam
Dear Ann, We found your book "Me, the Tree" at the public library and my 7 year old son fell in love with it! I did too! It is beautiful and inspiring! This book teaches not only children, but also parents, as the meaning is very deep and poetic. Please keep up this wonderful work!Darlene and Daniel
Hi Ann, I just read your new book and I love it, as a matter of fact I am going to buy one for my Grandsons. I think I should have you bring some more the next time you come to the pool. Why don't you bring 6 more for now.Judy Myers
by Ann Louise Ramsey
"Who can I tell that
I am not what you see?"
I heard the mirror reply,
"You can tell me."
(excerpt from "Just Be You")
Share Honey the Cocker Spaniel's delightful journey of self-discovery in Ann Louise Ramsey's magical children's picture book Just Be You . . . reminding us of the importance of loving and honoring ourselves.

and in no time flat. . .
I can do this and
I can do that!"
(excerpt from "I Cannot Sleep")
It's time for bed, but Honey the Cocker Spaniel cannot sleep. Honey is a small dog with a BIG imagination and the more she thinks, the more she does and . . . FUN is the goal!
Written and illustrated by Ann Louise Ramsey, I Cannot Sleep is a children's picture book celebrating the joy of life's simple pleasures as seen through the heart of a dog.
by Ann Louise Ramsey
"Have patience," I sighed,
"your time will come. . .
sometimes it is later
than it is for some."
(excerpt from "Me, the Tree")
With enchanting images of nature and a lyrical storyline, Ann Louise Ramsey's children's picture book Me, the Tree follows the birth of a pine tree as one lone pine cone, in a forest of many, searches for an open meadow "where no tree lived before" in order to become the magnificent pine tree that lives within. . . an inspiring tale about the power of believing in one's self.

"Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal."
"I wish I had said 'some athletes here are competing unfairly.' It was my opinion, never an accusation."

Tour Itinerary
Good to know
A Tibet Travel Permit is required to enter Tibet in addition to a China Visa. The Tibet Tourism Administration has recently indicated that they will tighten the regulations which control the issuance of Tibet Travel Permits. Besides now having to enter Tibet in a group of five people or more of the same nationality, the permit will be issued just 4-5 days before arriving in Lhasa. This means that we are unable to guarantee that a permit to travel will be approved. Also the permit will need to be sent to the place of departure in China for Lhasa by express courier. The additional cost will be 300–400 CNY. Your travel advisor will provide additional information. We apologize for this extra cost. However, it is out of our control.

Determinants of Flows into U.S.-Based International Mutual Funds
- Dilip K. PatroAffiliated withRisk Analysis Division, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Email author
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The last few decades has witnessed a dramatic growth of U.S.-based mutual funds that invest in non-U.S. stock markets. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of flows into these international mutual funds for 1970–2003. Our analysis uncovers several new facts about mutual fund flows. First, the empirical findings show a strong relationship between flows into U.S.-based international mutual funds and the correlation between the returns of the fund's assets and the returns of the U.S. market, consistent with investors' desire for international diversification. Furthermore, a stronger flow-performance relationship is observed when these correlations are low. As expected, the flows are lower when the volatility of the fund is higher. Second, the flows are related to contemporaneous and past fund returns supporting an "information asymmetry" as well as "return chasing" hypothesis for international capital flows.

Invesmart Gains 274 Additional 401(k)s
May 20, 2002
Retirement plan administrator Invesmart of Pittsburgh landed business in the first quarter of this year to administer 274 additional 401(k) plans, 197 of which have asked the company to help them select investment options for their plan, in addition to Invesmart's standard record keeping and administrative services.
As an investment advisor to 401(k) plans, Invesmart works with plan sponsors on plan design, not with participants on individual asset allocation, an Invesmart spokesman said. Mark Gensheimer, co-founder of Invesmart and SVP of sales, attributed companies' interest in Invesmart's investment advice to its impartiality.

"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"I picked this out for my daughter-in-law's baby shower because she wanted a pink and green theme. and the design was just perfect. We had the wording say Thank you - Love Kathleen and Matt. But I did not look at the discription close enough so I was surprised it was a sticker and not just a gift tag. In my case though we kept the backer on and cut out each tag, punched a hole in the top, put a ribbon through it and tied it to the favor and it looked fabulous!"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."
"My son is 9 years old, doesn't really care what tag is on a gift for his friends. He did think it was cool that there is a soccer ball on it, though!"

Lily, William and Kate
"Will-eee-am" Katie sung skipping into my room and swinging her arm that flung the doll she was clutching by the arm to fly back at forth with violent jerks. The way she barely thought about the way she handled her doll made it no wonder why she burst out in tears of confusion when the arms tore off.
The stitching that kept the arm, the one Katie was clutching, attached at the moment was her forth set. It had gotten to a point where when a leg or an arm came off Katie would raced straight downstairs to mum. "Mummy, Lily needs to go to the dolly hospital" she would cry.
To which my mother would reply calmly, "Lets see what mummy can do first"
She was a great mum. No, she is. She is a great mum. I had to remain positive for Katie... and for myself. I had to remain positive to keep the tears away.
"William" Katie said stomping her foot bringing me out of thought. She shot me this look as she folded her arms. "I was talking to you"
I smiled softly and got up off my bed, where I had been doing my homework, then went over to kneel in front of her. "What's wrong, Kates?" I asked gently. She squeezed Lily tight to her chest and looked at the floor as she kneed her toe of her shoe into the carpet.
"I can't find, mummy" she whispered. "I thought she was coming home"
She looked up to me with tear filled eyes which she angrily wiped away with the back of her hand. "She's at the doctor's, Kates. Mum had... she had a bit of an incident-but don't worry she's okay. We just have to trust the doctors to get her home as quick as possible"
Katie stomped her foot again. "But you and daddy promised. You said mummy would be home for my birthday"
"No" she yelled at me then raced out of the room. I would have followed but Katie's upset had hit me. I stumbled back to my bed where I perched on the edge and shoved my fingers back through my hair.
Katie was right. We had promised but there was nothing we could do. There was nothing we could do!
The tears began to fall and they didn't stop for a long while. Why would they stop? My mum was ill and honestly I didn't know if she was ever coming home.

I have two primary work areas. I now concentrate on the first: software development using the Java language, Java-implemented APIs, libraries and frameworks. Some details regarding this are available here.
The second area of work relates to healthcare information technology. I provide consulting to physicians' practices regarding the selection, acquisition and implementation of electronic medical records (EMR) systems.
I can also do specialized programming that interacts with EMR systems or can implement and adapt one of several excellent free and open-source (F\OSS) EMR systems, specifically PatientOS, written in Java, or OpenEMR, written in PHP. There are other good F\OSS electronic medical records systems, OpenMRS, Indivo and Indivo X, the various VistA-based systems. VistA is the EHR system developed over many years at the federal government's Departmentof Veterans Affairs.
Java examples here
Notes on Java here
I do not create professional applications with either C or C++ as I do using the Java language. I have a reasonably good knowledge of both languages however, particularly C, less good of C++. I continually work on that knowledge to gain sufficient expertise to write entire applications with one or the other. I mainly use the knowledge of them to write JNI (Java Native Interface) programs, in order to exchange data and function calls between Java programs and programs written in C or C++.
C examples here
C++ examples here
Examples of JNI from Java to C here
In these notes so far, I provide information about the books and other references that I have found useful for learning C, C++ and JNI. Not surprisingly, there are many good references out there. I was led to the few that I have used by various references in other publications that I have run across.
Regarding the examples of code, I have shown simple programs that are often variants of the examples that I have found in the books that I have read. I plan to add more commentary on what the programs accomplish and what features each illustrates in the respective languages. When I run across some aspect of a computer language or its use that is not entirely clear to me, I find that a search of the world wide web will turn up a good elucidation of the issue, so I want to try to reciprocate here by pointing out particularly puzzling or confusing aspects of C, etc., so that the next person has a good explanation of something that otherwise in unclear. Examples with commentary are very useful for the explanation, in part because the code may be copied and run by someone else as proof that the explanation works.
I have not added much commentary yet, but I hope to do so fairly soon
There is information on this website regarding the medical services system in general. This includes some interesting statistics on physician compensation by specialty.

Someone starts banging on the door.
Suddenly, you hear a loud bang coming from the door which scares you and the two little ones. Candy starts to play the attitude of the ferocious watch dog and quickly runs on all fours to the door; but she stands up back on two to open the door. Through the door is a rather scary looking fairy named Talathia, who also doesn't seem happy to be hear. Candy greets and welcomes her in kindly, but she simply sighs and walks in. When she turns around to see you and the others, she gives the three of you a cold scold. "That girl sure looks scary," said Zack. "Yeah, what should we do Nozomi?"

'There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs'
Ansel Adams
In a previous article, I discussed several so-called 'rules of composition'. Compositional rules, however, can be polarizing and divisive. Is this because as artists, we prize independence and don't like to, 'color in between the lines'? Or is it because we've all experienced disappointment when slavish application of the Golden Ratio still produces drab and lifeless images?
Certainly, great works of art have been produced throughout history that paid no heed to pre-determined compositional rules. You may ask then, if compelling art is not created by simply following rules, what's the point of learning the rules in the first place? That's a great question.
Now this is not going to be an article suggesting that all compositional rules are 'bad' or 'wrong'. Instead, what follows is a look at the rationale behind some established compositional rules. I'd argue that by understanding the intent behind a rule, we can subvert or break the rule to create drama or focus the viewer's attention in creative and novel ways. Let's begin with an example from another visual medium: drawing.
A story about eyes
Many years ago, my great-uncle - an accomplished painter and sculptor - was teaching me how to draw portraits. He suggested placing the eyes at the vertical midway point of the head. This 'rule' won't be surprising for anyone with a drawing background, but for many people, the idea that the eyes are halfway down the face is unintuitive - it seems too low!
I recently had a conversation with a friend who received the same advice from his father, despite the fact that he and I grew up in different countries. The fact that two artists from opposite sides of the planet were taught the same 'rule of eyes' points to one source of artistic rules: observations about the natural world.
|The rough sketch on the left has eyes placed slightly above the midpoint of the face. It has the feel of having been drawn by a child. The image on the right was drawn with similar proportions and style but has eyes drawn at the midpoint of the face; a much different look.
In reality, are everybody's eyes exactly halfway down their face? No, but it's a good starting point that is visually pleasing and conforms to our expectations of illustrated portraits. In fact, a distinguishing feature of children's drawings of people is that the eyes are placed 'too high up' on the face.
This is a simple rule that helps us to draw a more realistic portrait. Just as importantly, however, understanding this rule allows us to make deliberate choices. We can draw a face with the eyes in the middle of the face for a natural look. We can instead place the eyes above the midway mark to give the drawing a more child-like quality. Or we can place the eyes below the midway mark to make the drawing look furtive or comical.
Making things concrete
Another reason I bring up this 'rule of eyes' as an example is because it offers a concrete, actionable guideline: place the eyes in the middle of the head. In photography we tend to be much more abstract in our instruction. Phrases like 'use your frame efficiently' or 'make asymmetrical compositions' may not mean much to a novice photographer.
Introducing a beginner to the rule of thirds though, for example, is an easy way to get them to start thinking about compositional space in a way that's immediately applicable, helping them to avoid mistakes and instead, focus on being creative.
Origins of rules
Where do artistic rules come from? Some are derived from observations and generalizations about the world around us. These observational rules may be common sense, such as shooting a level horizon, or non-intuitive, such as the rule of eyes I just discussed.
A second, more subtle category of what I'll call 'synthetic rules' come from the subjective values ascribed to qualities such as brightness, symmetry, balance and so forth. The rule of thirds fits in this category, where the use of thirds helps to create compositions with a pleasing balance between the main subjects. There's arguably nothing 'magical' about thirds, they just happen to be simple to visualize.
Artistic disobedience
I mentioned earlier that a great benefit to having rules lies in gaining the ability to break them for a more creative result. It's important to realize that any compositional rule is nothing more than a guideline. The guideline exists to communicate an abstract concept in a practical, concrete manner. So, one way to break a rule is to modify its concept. A deliberate tweak to an existing rule can help lead to creative results that are based on the same concept. Let's look at an example, modifying the rule of thirds guideline.
One objective of the rule of thirds is to avoid creating perfectly centered compositions. To achieve a similar result without following the rule by rote, why not experiment with different divisions of the frame? Break the image into fifths instead. Start with a thirds grid and then rotate it by 20 degrees. Or, try to think in circular rather than linear divisions.
|The thirds grid is normally composed of horizontal and vertical lines. Imagine them as being rotated a few degrees in either direction instead. Doing so can help us to more easily envision compositions with subjects placed along a diagonal axis.
Modifications to a rule can lead to different and very creative results, while still retaining the rule's benefits. I like to think of this as the visual equivalent of a jazz performance; you start with a given harmony, melody and rhythm (the concept) and then build an improvisation on top of it (the modification).

Once I was also a rule-breaker... till I got married!
I guess this time, breaking rules is not a problem.
Very striking I love it on first sight.
Thanks for posting, and looking forward yours next one.
Very useful for me as newbie!
Thanks once more!
PS is any macro tutorial on queue??
Thank you! I'm certainly not an expert or authority on macro photography; I also mostly shoot people, which is going to be a different set of skills and challenges than object or insect macro photography.
I did write up a blog post with a few thoughts on shooting macros here: http://thomasparkphoto.com/2010/11/14/life-in-macro/
Thanks for posting
Thanks for this article. I think a good photographer knows what looks good and what doesn't. A good photographer will apply his/her own "rules" even if he/she is not aware of them.
Nose room - it is unfortunate, that there is that dark stripe , a corner or something, coming out of the models head. Itentionally? I do not think so. Breaking rules or not, this the photographer should have seen if not through the viewfinder then when sorting the pictures out.-
It uses a golden mean composition. Notice the mouth is contained with the four points of interest, the octopus cuts the frame by a third. Rule of third used. Sorry. but this article is rubbish.
Nowadays I don't think rules in photography matter much anymore. People have a different eye for beauty and art -- that's what makes a photo unique.
People here using the word 'rules' need to list them. And please, while you're at it, list just who it is that carved these 'rules' in stone and made them so immutable. I've been an artist for over 30 years, lectured in colleges, exhibited and sold work and I can assure you, there are no rules, just conventions.
I think to some it's just semantics, while to others it may be a misunderstanding.
Maybe part of the blame could go down to people like John Thomas Smith who in 1797 is said to have coined the phrase "Rule of thirds" in his book Remarks on Rural Scenery.
If you read the excerpt that they have posted in the Rule_of_thirds article, you see that John Thomas Smith uses the word "invention", so you kinda assume that its just a convention for him.
But, using the word "rule" seems more authoritative if trying to promote your "idea" or "invention". :)
Here is a test of the necessity of the "rules" for successful composition. Make a set of the 100 most revered paintings and photographs, and score the number of them that followed the "rules." I've tried this with a smaller set, and most of them did not conform to the rule of thirds, uncentered composition, golden rectangle, and the other touted "rules." So, even the word "convention" is an overstatement. Instead, it is clear that the artistry is not dependent on the overall geometry.
@jdc562 -- Sounds good!
I guess the question is . . . are rules (conventions) useful.
It is a bit like busines science - some people found out that a major part of well run businesses adhered to some financial figures such as turnover per employee etc. So some wise guy thought that they needed to turn it around - if you managed to get the key figures right you would have a well run and successful business - and hence the MBA and controlling was invented - Here ist is the same - a lot of impressive pictures seem to adherer to some compositional norms and hence some people think "Wow, if I fix my pictures to obey to these, they will be good" But that is rubish. A good picture may ore may not adhere to some rules of composition but the composition does not make a good picture.
Learn the rules flawlessly and compose using them all with precision, and then throw them all out the window when the shot calls for it!
A man once said "Rules are made to be broken."
With that said there is usually an exception to every composition rule. One must remember that composition rules are really guidelines.
The subject matter dictates how you frame it, not the other way around.
Take for instance the 'dead center rule'. At first glimpse; this may look like a hard and fast rule in composition but I have seen many examples where placing the subject in 'dead center' was the only way to achieve the desired result.
In the article above, the diagonal shift to the rule of thirds is an excellent example. If the rule of thirds was strictly followed on the vertical and horizontal planes, that photo would not work as well as it does.
The bottom line is this: Look at what you are taking a picture of and compose your image accordingly. If you just take the time to do this one simple thing it will improve your photography immensely.
Tips for better photos according to dpreview members:
Rule #1: get a Canon or Nikon camera
Rule #2: get an L or pro grade lenses
Rule #3: constantly upgrade whenever something new comes out
- Special Edition Gold Plated cameras, with your name engraved on them make better pictures.
- Being an active member of a very select Photo Club makes you a better photographer.
- Great photographers do not brainstorm about Sony RX 100, Leica D-LUX 6 or Lumix LX 7. They buy them all.
and I said to myself: "You see? I told you" It is an idea I have been exploring for some years now, to keep on at working on photo shots that are going sheerly against the rule, the all mighty rule of thirds not less. This is a great article. More more, please, sweetie please?
These is great info; as an extension of the author's thoughts, the easiest way to get better as a photographer is to take a drawing class or two. Previsualization is the key to great photos and drawing is the best way to previsualize. Every town in the world has someone who teaches drawing and it's never very expensive. There's no excuse not to try it.
Or other random ideas or concepts. Doesn't have to be strictly about art or photography. The more ideas and concepts you have bouncing around your head while you're shooting, the more complex your images . . . IMHO.
Interesting article, I supposed with years of experience and try and learning, you automatically or indirectly use or not use those rules to make the pictures interesting. Speaking for myself I can say that I never crop a picture (digital or film), I try to use the format to its best. I prefer 3:2 than 4:3 its more like the Golden Ratio, check my blog :
But then, 4:3 is closer to the canvas format generally used by Renaissance painters, who didn't, as a rule, use the golden ratio for framing their compositions.
If you think you're breaking the rules and making great art, you didn't know all of the rules.
Oh, yeah. Great article. Please keep more "rules" coming. Very useful and a nice read! You have a nice way to express your ideas!
Everyone should just read Michael Freeman's The Photographer's Eye, to get the basics. Composition is more than just where things go.
Every picture in this article is following some compositional rule or another that I am aware of. Composition is more than just putting certain elements in certain fixed places on the frame. The subject(s) still need to be interesting, or there has to be interesting tension, etc. Some things are more objective than others.
I think a better thesis would be that there are many, many rules, some of them contradictory, and it's good to know all of them so you have some idea which ones to use in which situation, and which ones to acknowledge and then ignore.
Maybe rules isn't the right word for it, anyway. It's more like, this has worked for artists in the past. They give you a framework for understanding good images, in the hopes that we can find success as well. I think your best point in the whole article is the one about doing specific projects. I am routinely inspired to experiment with different compositional concepts as a basis for a specific project.
"I think a better thesis would be that there are many, many rules, some of them contradictory, and it's good to know all of them so you have some idea which ones to use in which situation, and which ones to acknowledge and then ignore."
I like that!
It's best to understand all of the rules.
Breaking the rules without a plan usually leads to a weaker image.
Understanding what the rule seeks to avoid, then breaking the rule in specialized cases to deliberately cause the effect often strengthens an image.
Breaking one rule solidly while following the others that apply is nearly always a stronger composition than breaking several rules at once.
A few readers have noticed that the images in this article do follow several rules while breaking one. Each rule you break past the first multiplies the difficulty in creating a successful image. Break each rule because the rule breaking will change the viewer's perception of the image in a desired way.
Very good article. What is particularly interesting to me is that for the images which supposedly "break the rules", you analyse them with the aim of establishing why they work. Surely what you are doing is working out what the rules are which _were_ employed in that image?
Always surprised to notice how so many people actually believe there are no rules in composition, or they are subjective ore mere guidelines. For centuries, all the great artists have undergone long and exhausting studies and very hard work in order to learn those rules and create masterpieces. And this includes the modern masters such as Picasso, who undertook very serious learning of the rules in order to know when and why it would be legitimate not to respect them.
Photography is no different, however modern the medium might be.
And now you have a legion of hobbysts with minimum knowledge of art who claim that rules are not necessary.
How about a bit of humility?
I interpret this negation of the need for rules as a legitimation of people's ignorance. Nowadays everybody thinks he's a great writer without a proper knowledge of grammar rules, or a great musician without being able to tell a flat and a sharp apart. The same in photography.
just curious... what is the lens that has a MAXIMUM focusing distance of 10cm!
umm,... no, the first picture follows the rule of thirds, and then takes liberties, which is what makes it interesting compositionally.
And maybe colour composition theory. And red lips being healthy and sexy from Desmond Morris theories?
Composition is nothing more than an intuitive response to a scene. It may be wrong to many, but it is a response with all the attendant baggage of the taker.
I say, keep going. look. See. Respond. Guiding and sharing have been useful both as a student and as a pro. Follow your heart. Work to keep it open.
Rule Number 1.
We don't need any Rules
rules? rules! we don't need no stinkin rules!
Ah! Double negative. You actually said "We do need rules!"
@Wye Photography
ahem, that was a classic popular adaptation of a classic movie line which was in turn adapted from the original book.
to subject it to any formality is as dull as this note itself... but just in case some are not aware of its history, see:
@Blue Camera
I do not call 20th century American film or literature 'classic' in any shape or form. Hence, my ignorance of such odious and insidious language.
Or there's:
<West Country accent>Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers</>
(Topical reference which will only make sense to English readers...)
@Wye Photography
John Marcellus Huston was an American film director, screenwriter and actor. He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics, including "The Treasure of Sierra Madre."
He wasn't The Bard, but I presume he's one up on say, Alfred Hawthorne Hill.
Among his many awards, the London Film Critics Circle Award for Best Director.
Sometimes 'rules' are merely suggestions ...
The so called rules in photography are there as a guide and nothing more. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't.
As for learning composition, I'm not sure it is possible to truly learn it, you either have the eye for it or you don't. That being said there are lots of pro's who I don't believe have a natural sense of composition or what looks good, they have excellent technique and make up for lack of innate talent through dedicated following of rules or breaking them. The truly great photographers, instinctively know when a shot is great, us mere mortals, take a shot and hope our talent was enough to get the shot we imagined we were taking.
There are no rules in Photography except when as a beginner you submit a photograph to a magazine, then the editors and experts pick it to pieces and tell you all about the rules you have broken. Oh well turn over the page and look at an image taken by a Pro that has broken all the same rules but the editors love it.
Me? Chip on my shoulder? It just won't go and has been there for 30 odd years and grew from reading too many copies of AP back in the 70' and 80's.
This is one of the best articles about photography I have ever read. It both acknowledges the reasons for learning compositional rules and the necessity for experiments and rulebreaking, in a very compact and down to earth text.
This is a must-read for anyone who really wishes to learn about composition.
In the time of the Great Painting Masters like Vermeer, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Rubens, etc. there were rules, rules, rules. You studied with the greats to learn these rules and hope that someday your painting would end up in the saloons. Some of them were centered around painting realistically while others were centered around symbolism, etc.
Funny enough, it was probably the invention of the camera that really shook this up and got artists like Monet, Manet, Picasso, Braque, Cezanne, Seurat, etc to walk away from the saloons and the established art world with its rules to create new ways of painting and creating art.
After all, once a camera was able to record realistic images, why did you have to paint realistically. [I don't agree with that, but that's probably the question that was the seed for Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, etc.]
So, its good to be aware and have a foundation in the "rules". Partly to know what has come before. And also to know when you're breaking away.
i would definitely say people should learn these rules similar to how they learn art history. You can then use that as a base to build upon and when the time is right in your development, naturally you will find yourself favouring the idea first with the execution working towards the idea. It may or may not follow the rules but it will work - and when you see it doesn't follow the rules, you won't automatically discard it in favour of the less effective (but conformist) piece.
You either have an intuitition for it or you have the experience and perspective to see rules for what they are- there to be broken and bent when the time comes that it no longer works for what you need.
Composition based on rules are fine if you know that you don't have an artist's eye and want to produce a reasonably nice photograph. But I totally agree with Ansel Adams. Artists don't need no stinking rules!
Excellently written and not a second too soon. Many new photographers will surely accelerate their advancement if they spend some time following these suggestions. It takes lots of knowlege to be able to write simply about it. Congratulations, Thomas!
Obviously the "rules" have some inherent psychological basis in explaining aesthetic appeal. However, to see their horribly destructive short-comings, try using these "rules" to judge classic paintings and photographs: "We're sorry Mr. da Vinci, but your centered compositions are amateurish. And Ms. Lange, Dust-Bowl Dotty, whatever your name is, your subject, sans make-up, is smack-dab in the middle of the frame--you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of composition. On to you, Mr. Adams: you wasted all of those huge negatives and darkroom efforts on snapshots that ignore the aesthetic beauty of compositional basics. You should have placed that waterfall on one of the 3rds intersections. And, saving the worst for last, Mr. Weston! My God! That bell pepper is dead center in the frame. And that woman, is that her driver's license? Not only is that Mexican looking out of the frame, you chopped off part his hair! What did he say? 'We don need no steenking rules'? "
i remember a blog I read where they placed established masters' work on forums & waited for the comments. It was hilarious. I distinctly remember a photo of a model with her eyes closed head tilted up and back facing away from the camera...
A commentor stated quite surely that he liked the photo but the problem was the model wasn't looking into the camera... you know, because there are writing out there that distinctly state that to have an interesting human subject, they must be looking at the camera, or you must see the eyes... people read these "rules" & take it to heart because that's how they learned.
Funny, sad and absurd at the same time.
Sit on the floor and look up at the people around you. That is why a kid draws a face with the eyes above the center.
Brilliant observation! :-)
Quite. Great "observation about the natural world"!
Rule books are bland instructions for bland minds to produce bland photographs. Or people who want to enter the commercial world with speed.
It is instant experience for novices who have no experience. Form however, is only valuable and worth your glance if born out of a necessity to communicate something. That is art. Not some contrived fake poetry.
A pilot needs a rule book because we need pilots, hundreds of them really urgently. Same goes with brain surgeons. Rule book surgeons and plumbers are acceptable too, but I am not so sure about rule book artists.
Thanks for the article and interesting pointers. I have some doubts about the value of the overall approach. Making/breaking a given "rule" doesn't make much sense when all the others dictated by good post-processing are scrupulously adhered to. It's a bit like saying Formula 1 drivers "break" speed limits...
The comedy!!!!
I put forth stuff like this from time to time and the response is disagreement.
DPReview puts up an article and it's mostly agreed with.
You people are so obvious...
I looked through your past comments. I didn't see anything about breaking rules. Post a link.
Well I'm glad that you spent your time investigating my past posts. I hope that you enjoyed yourself. Maybe now you can apply for that Forum Cop position....
The greatest rule of composition is appreciation. Love what your doing....love what your shooting.
It's GOOD to know the rules of composition. these are stepping stones to fully understanding the CONCEPT of composition.
The best photography is about emotion. No rules there but exploration of self.
Shoot on my brothers and sisters!!!!......shoot on!!!!
Nice thought provoking article.
Putting a frame around something seen is a rule. Recording light, or lack of it, is a rule.
There are more contrived rules; we are bombarded with design every day, and most of it exists in a rectangle - print, computer screens, theaters, etc.
Most of those designs follow well defined rules from antiquity. "All that exists shall fit on a grid. All typeface shall be Helvetica. Etc."
People who break those rules sometimes succeed, sometimes fail. Sometimes it's interesting, sometimes not. Often it's interesting only for a time.
Woody Allen's cinematographer used a widescreen framing effect to an extreme. Interesting at first, and later boring. HDR is an effect. It was interesting for a while.
Basic rules exist, much like gravity, and those impose pretty much a universal environment. Contrived rules about what goes on within those light and dark and color frames - those can be and should be broken to further the art.
Great article - and one that could have been greatly expanded. Thank you. Sometimes we forget that it's good to forget.

As one of the largest cities in the Southeastern United States, Tampa is a major travel hub. With the constant flow of people in and out of the city, Tampa has experienced a lot of bed bug activity in recent years.
Bed bugs are brownish insects that feed on blood. The tiny insects can be found just about anywhere they can get a quick blood meal, including beds, bed clothes, carpets, behind picture frames. Bed bugs can quickly infest entire buildings, including homes and businesses.
Fortunately for Tampa residents, Ehrlich's bed bug control specialists are nearby. Ehrlich Pest Control experts are trained to find bed bugs and provide you with solutions that eliminate infestations completely.
For bed bug relief, contact Ehrlich for a property inspection today!
Tampa is home to some very big types of spiders. Fortunately, there are relatively few spiders that actually pose any kind of serious health risk. However, the webs spiders spin all over your home or business can be very unsightly.

The Ehrlich Tampa team's spider control specialists are trained to eliminate spider infestations and provide practical solutions to stop the arachnids from coming back. Contact us today for a property inspection.
Mosquitoes deserve the reputation that they have gotten over the years. The list of diseases that they are known vectors of continues to grow. From Dengue fever to West Nile Virus to Zika to Canine Heartworm, mosquitoes are actually considered the deadliest animals on the planet. Of course, here in Tampa, with our warm weather and lots of water, it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes all year long.

Mohali: In his first match of the season - and much belated, many will say - England's Twenty20 journeyman Luke Wright experienced almost the full gamut of emotions that an allrounder can. Batting for the first time in the IPL, Wright made an immediate impact with the bat as he smacked 37 off 10 to turn a fighting total into a dominating one. But 20 overs later, Wright wore a forlorn look after conceding 16 runs in five balls as David Miller smacked two sixes to seal a thrilling seven-wicket win for Kings XI Punjab with one delivery remaining.
Wright, having conceded 20 off his first two overs, was entrusted with bowling the last six balls of the match from which Punjab needed 16 to win. Miller was batting on 65 off 37 balls having revived his team from 58 for 3 in the company of Mandeep Singh, and struck a wide ball from Wright over extra cover, harried between the wickets for two, and then drilled a full toss over long-off to clear the Punjab dugout.
Drafted back into the XI for this match, Miller played an outstanding role with 80 off 41 balls, inclusive of five fours and five sixes. He and Mandeep came together in the seventh over - Adam Gilchrist fell for four and Azhar Mahmood for 0 - and averted a rout with a counter-attacking partnership of 128 which took its time to flourish. After 18 tidy deliveries from which he and Mandeep managed nine singles and three twos, Miller smashed Yuvraj Singh for six over long-on. He then trained his focus on Ajantha Mendis, swatting ten in two balls with great timing.
With Mandeep struggling to run between the wickets and instead reliant on his heaves to the onside, Miller took it upon himself to try and see Punjab home. In the 16th over he swung Wright for six, then took consecutive full tosses from Ashok Dinda for fours. It all boiled down to 16 from one over, and Miller held his composure brilliantly.
Earlier, Wright had struck a ballistic cameo to take Pune to 185 for 4 after stand-in captain Aaron Finch hit another brisk fifty in an 83-run stand. He blasted his first four balls for fours - to cow corner, wide extra cover, between long-on and long-off and midwicket - to ensure 17 came off 18th over which began with Yuvraj (34) falling to Mahmood over.
On his fifth delivery, Wright charged Praveen Kumar and lofted four more over extra cover; on the sixth, a dab to third man went through Parvinder Awana's legs to give Wright another boundary; the seventh was squeezed through midwicket for two; the eighth dumped over midwicket for six; two more came off the next as Wright chipped through midwicket. In nine balls, he had scored 37.
The last over was sedate with Wright falling second ball to Mahmood who reduced the damage to just six in six balls; how crucial that would turn out to be was not envisioned then.
After being asked to bat, Finch was given a huge reprieve on 1 when Gilchrist dropped a simple catch off Mahmood, and replied by lofting the next ball for six. Off the next, he was given four by the fielder at mid-off who let a drive through his legs. Finch was the aggressor in a dominant opening stand with Robin Uthappa, showing a liking for the cut and pull. He latched onto anything fractionally short and with superb placement collected four meaty boundaries through the leg side. Finch got another life on 32 when Mahmood missed the stumps from mid-off with the Australian batsman gone for all money.
By the time Gilchrist held on to a catch, Pune were 83 for 1 midway through the 11th over and Uthappa had 37 to his name. Finch marched on to his fifty with a terrific pick-up shot off Manpreet Gony for six, easily swinging a full ball over midwicket. Gony's response was to drop the next ball short and Finch blasted a pull to put 100 on board for his team. In the end Gony had his man when Finch (64) cracked an aerial cut to sweeper cover first ball of the 16th over.

Flora Jaysummers.
"Flora! Flora, wake up!"
I put my arm over my eyes. "Five more minuets brother." I mutter but instead of getting left along my brother grabs hold of my arm and drags me out of bed. I look at him a bit confused, worry is in his grey eyes.
"What is it? Couldn't find a chocolate muffin?" I say and laugh a little but it stops short at the anger on his face.
"Flora they're here! You know what to do."
I swallow deeply and smile a little. "Yeah, I'll make them a nice cuppa." Keith, my brother, groans and pushes me out of my room.
"Pirates are invading and you want to make them tea? What's wrong with you sissy?" Kieth nearly yells at me.
"You never know. You can sort a lot of things out with a nice cupps. That's what mother always said." I smile at him, trying to get rid of his worry. It normally works. Kieth will now laugh and shake his head, then he'll say something funny about my optimism.
Instead, he glares at me. "I don't care what mother used to say! And I've had enough of your optimism! Go down to the escape pods and hide where it is hidden!" Kieth pushes me down the stairs.
The ship shakes violently, making me fall. I get to my feet and look down at my white dress that is now covered in dust. I frown at it then shrug, now it looks like I'm from olden times with my long hair and dress and having no shoes on.
I run towards the pods waving bye to Kieth who was already gone.
I hide where the little box is hidden.
Now I can hear the screams. All of them.
People come into the pods. Pirates! I know I should be terrified, and yes I am scared, but this is the first time I've seen a pirate and I must say it's kind of cool.
A lady spots me and scowls deeply. "She knows what we want." She tells the others who turn to me. I smile at them sheepishly. "I know, but I'm sorry, there isn't any tea stuff down here, there might be in the captians quarters..." I start but stop when the lady puts a gun to my face.
"Cool gun. My brother says I'm not allowed near them, he says they're dangerous..." I start. I know that if you are ever near pirates, you should keep talking, it gives more time for someone to come rescue you. Well, that's part of mine and my brothers plan.
"Yeah guns are dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as I am." Some of the other pirates laugh. "Now tell me where the stones are!" Her voice is demanding, like the stones are the only thing she needs to survive.
I shrug. "Well, as the ship is ruined, there are lots of stones." I smile at her, playing dumb, but she doesn't seem too pleased. Instead of smiling, she clicks something on the gun.
"Stop wasting my time child and tell me where the cesnia stones are!"
My big green eyes widen, how does she know we have them? Mother found them years ago and the only people she told were me and Kieth.
I shrug again. "Don't know what you're on about."
The lady growls at me.
"Okay, okay. They are upstairs, the captian has them with him at all times. They are in his pocket." I sigh after my lie. I've always been good at lieing and the pirates are buying it. They turn towards the stairs.
The ship shakes again, making the pirates fall and the box come out in the open. The lady pirate sees it and tries to get the old box before I do. I snatch the box away from her grasp.
She scowls at me. "Give that to me!" She snarls. I open my mouth to say something witty when I see Kieth. "Leave her alone you bloody pirates!" He yells at them and spits.
The lady turns and points her gun at him. Panick rushes through me.
"Flora, you know what to do. I love you siss..." Before he could say anything else, the lady shoots him dead. I watch in horror as Kieths limp body falls down the stairs.
The lady turns back to me. "Give it here."
I open the lid on the box slowly and hand it over to her. My fingers are still on the box as the ship shakes again. I pull the box in my direction as the piret pulls it in hers.
The cesnia stones come flying out towards me.
They hit me hard, making me fall to the floor. All nine of them burn as they enter my skin. I scream out as each one hits me.
This wasn't surpost to happen, I was meant to throw them off the ship. What's going to happen now?
The last of the stones hit me on the scar on my neck. I scream again as the pain travels all over my body, in every cell.
I try to move but I can't.
I open my mouth but no sound comes out.
Even my eyes are closing.
This is it.....

Paintings by Jamie Adams
Jamie Adams' work is generated from things that he enjoys looking at: bodies, women, his wife and children, other paintings, and film. As personal memoir, it functions as a transcription of his most intimate impressions from life, while spiraling through recurring social themes of identity and the psyche, love and desire. These concerns have led the artist to the solitary processes of drawing and painting and the strategy of figuration. Modes of expression such as these—advancing notions of authorship and singularity, while requiring a great deal of attention to craft—serve aptly as markers for desire and loss.April 18, 2016

Boccieri Registers to Vote in the 16th District...Finally
It only took John Boccieri 442 days to register to vote in Ohio's 16th Congressional District.
He didn't register when he announced, he didn't register before the primary, he didn't register when newspaper coverage said he had "rented a home in the district" almost two months ago.
"Why does John Boccieri have to be dragged kicking and screaming to live in a district he says he wants to represent?" asked PJ Wenzel, Campaign Manager for Kirk Schuring.
Since announcing his candidacy on May 9, 2007, for the 16th Congressional District, the Youngstown area legislator has been registered to vote in the 6th Congressional District.
In fact, he did not even vote for himself in the 16th District Primary. He voted in his home 6th Congressional District.
"Senator Boccieri's residence and registration issues are important to voters. This 11th hour move 442 days after he announced his candidacy tells us voters have been telling him that. Unfortunately for Sen. Boccieri he has waited too long," said Kirk Schuring.
"The Mahoning Valley already has two representatives in Congress - they don't need a third," said Kirk Schuring.

So which do you prefer?
I'm looking pretty hard at a DW Guardian, but the Fusion offerings are tempting me.
I prefer the 10mm. It's my round of choice.
I think a Guardian would be a superb choice for a lightweight commander length 45acp. I have a feeling it would carry just as easily as the CCO
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
I think I like the DW better, with one exception. Give me a GI guide rod any day! (edit: just re-read the OP, and for me the DW wins hands-down)
But both are gorgeous!
Also, is the Fusion chambered in 38 Super? The bore looks a bit narrower than the Wesson.

They Were Not Gods: A Space-Age Fairytale
€ 12,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Dezember 2003
BeschreibungDrawing from the spirit of the Gospels, Frankenstein, and the "ancient astronauts" theories of Erich von Daniken, They Were Not Gods: A Space-Age Fair Tale is ultimately about the human spirit in the most universal sense. It is a story of space travel connecting three living beings who felt many of the same feelings we feel, thought many of the same thoughts we think, and asked themselves many of the same questions we find ourselves asking. Paleface, a young woman from an outer space colony, left her family behind to become an explorer, hoping her efforts would benefit mankind. When everything started to go wrong, she began to question the direction she was taking in life. In a different part of the galaxy, Cros lived a very dull life exploring outer space, until the discovery of a gigantic time capsule sent him on an uncertain voyage into a dangerous new world. Knowing little of life beyond his home planet, Thundercloud often dreamed of traveling in space, but learned to be happy where he was. When his whole world changed, however, he found himself with difficult decisions to make as he watched various intelligent life forms cross paths and collide.

A Truly Moving Day
... the mission house whenever the city water is turned off (which is a fairly regular occurance). This means that no future team will have to go without water after a taxing day on a work site. We decided that we would pay for the pump with some of the extra money that we raised for our trip. This way we can pay it forward.
Juan de Dios Pena shared dinner with us tonight and suggested that our team put together ...
Build day 3
... s pupusas were especially awesome because we got to make them! A local woman (Maria Cruz) who makes pupusas everyday came to the site with all the pupusa dough and "mix-ins" (cheese, pork, and re-fried beans) then showed us all how to make them! Them we got our turn making them, she would fry them up for us on a tiny stove she brought, then they were devoured with the traditional tomato sauce and coleslaw! As you can tell today was not the most productive day building wise for me, ...
... like Illy and Nestle actually buy very poor quality coffee when compared to what is actually available. Not too much to say about El Salvador yet except that (as in everywhere we've been to so far) the people are really friendly and welcoming. I think they're mostly a bit shy of foreigners, as there aren't loads of tourists around but once you say hello you get a big smile and a greeting back in return. Also, I really wish we knew Spanish! Hasta luego! ...
Day 7 - FInal Day in Ahuachapan
... Another motorist who had apparently witnessed the accident pulled over to help out.
Back at the hotel we got ready for dinner. Tonight we had tamales. They were very good. After dinner while everyone settled up for lunch at the beach, I headed back to my room to get the team checked in. Then we had devotions.
This mission has been the hardest since there is more work for the team lead. But is has also been the most ...
Day 4
... remembered me from last year and also asked about Janie and Marian. When we got close to the textile store (my favorite) I went into the store where Brian, Larry, Juan de Dios and Elana were and Kennon hooked up with Kheang, Emmanuel and some others. I am not much of a shopper, but I like the textile shop because you can also get coffee, hot chocolate or, my favorite, Cappuccino.
After shopping in Ataco, we drove to Entre Nubes ...

Employees may be entitled to overtime pay wages even if they are on a salary, paid by commission, or have an impressive title such as "manager", "team leader", or "supervisor".
If you believe that your current or former employer has violated the California employment laws by not paying you overtime wages at the appropriate overtime pay rate, please contact The Law Office of Seth E. Tillmon for a confidential consultation and evaluation of your potential employment law claims.
