In this collection we focussed on leading lines and showing depth in each photograph. I did my best to find different types of lines to follow such as poles, streets, telephone wires, but mostly streets. It is much more difficult than expected to show depth in a picture using leading lines, because it is important to still have some content in the picture besides simply an ongoing line. I had a great deal of fun with this project and have already started adding leading lines into my other photographs because of the intrigue that depth adds to any photograph.

Black and White Rule of Thirds

 This is a hole in the boy's bathroom ceiling on the top floor. I tried to capture it in a way that would almost make it unrecognizable, while using two thirds of my frame to capture the panel that is missing, and the bottom third to show the final and intended bathroom ceiling panel.

 For this photograph I shared a very similar goal to the bathroom ceiling, in which I would use two thirds of my frame to capture the typical San Francisco tagger's flow, and the top third to give the context of a mailbox that looks as if it is fading away.

 Two thirds newspaper, one third sidewalk and onto the first step of a house, just a block away from Drew. Something about this headline tickled me.

 A beautiful American Hippy van with bumper stickers everywhere except for the bumper. I wanted to capture the back of the van with two thirds of the frame and use the side of the van and the sidewalk to fill the final third.

 I tried to line up the fire escape ladder with the exact third mark on the left side and as I snapped the photo a bird flew across the top third.

 I tried to capture the reflection of the trees off of the college counselor window, while placing the coexist sticker and a couple of pez containers in the bottom third of the frame.

The Rule of thirds has truly made me think about photography differently, and I have started to notice it amongst almost all professional photographs.

As I attempted to get a shot of the peace pole with the brick wall in the background, I caught Kyle's smile, as he stepped into the frame. Our project is to view subjects or objects from many different points of view. I went on a mission to look at things differently than I normally would, my perfect timing turned out to show a different side of Kyle than you would normally see as well as capturing the peace pole in the courtyard.
