  1. Very straight and orthogonal for such a wide-angle lens. You certainly are a very careful person.

  2. Irene,

    That must have something to do with my personality... straight-laced and by the book. Actually, if you look at my very oldest photos here, they are taken at all angles and look terrible.

    I use the very simplest and basic of compositional styles, which include symmetry and proportion, mainly because I don't have the artistic expertise to pull off anything more complex. I study the photos of others all of the time and am humbled by the expressiveness and composition of many photographers. Many of the photos I most enjoy looking at are quite different from my own.

    I've been putting my time into the technical means to make the final photo look as much as possible as the original object and how I remember seeing it.
