Very Good Composition Video...

When I was racing, I carried spare parts & tools that I knew I probably wouldn't use that weekend. But I knew where they were & what they were for if I needed them.

Same with "RULES". Know what they are, & what they are for. And when you feel that it's right, know when to break them.

Basic "rules" broken

" ...... a photograph can look any way. Or, there's no way a photograph has to look (beyond being an illusion of a literal description). Or, there are no external or abstract or preconceived rules of design that can apply to still photographs. " Garry Winogrand

"And in not learning the rules, I was free. I always say, you're either defined by the medium or you redefine the medium in terms of your needs." - Duane Michals
