Re: [Leica] The 10 Commandments

[Sandy Carter <sc-photo@shaw.ca>]

Steve,

I guess whenever I see "rules" being discussed in connection with
photography I cringe. One of my photography teachers had many rules...
"Don't shoot people in the back." Another, "Don't ever place your subject
dead center." When I look at the work of many photographers, I invariably
see these rules broken with great success. I think when rules are imposed on
us as photographers, they can inhibit our own way of seeing and potentially
harm our creativity.

again - just my opinion
