Favorite Director


My new favorite director is fairly new, Josh Boone. My favorite movie is Stuck in Love and that is when I first discovered Josh Boone. He has also directed The Fault in our Stars (2014). He has a stort of indie way of directing and his movies are bright and really passionate. It's hard to explain why you like something, because sometimes you just do. And I really like his work.

Compose Your Frame

This is not my image but I chose it because everything in this picture falls either on a grid line or very close to one and is a great example of how photography uses the rule of thirds. The horizon is a little above the bottom horizontal grid line, making it the most potenant. The man or women doing the hand stand lies on two of the lines, the one to the right and the top horizontal. This makes the movement of a loop when we look at it with the photographers use of the rule of thirds. For me, I start at the handstand, follow up to the legs, to the sunset horizon and then back again. I believe the message to be calming, I don't get much else from it. The rule of thirds aids the message of calmness but aesthetically pleasing us with having the objects placed in a specific way.
