Some believe that photographic “composition” is purely a matter of aesthetics. I don’t take this approach. Making a beautiful image, one that follows all the “rules of composition”, is not the way I shoot. Rather, I use composition to organize my pictures for meaning. How and why I relate things to each other within my frame, and how I emphasize the point I am trying to make, is more important to me than making a classically beautiful image.
I use a number of methods to build my images and make them work. Here I will be presenting images that reflect aspects of photographic composition. They are selected from the portfolios of digital travel narratives I’ve posted at http://worldisround.com/home/pnd1/index.html. I welcome your comments, suggestions, questions, and critiques
