Bob Quincy originally posted some of this guy's essays a while ago but i found this series on composition today and enjoyed them so here's a link http://www.luminous-landscape.com/columns/Composition_Intro.shtml
I particularly found this quote interesting ( after he mentioned the many uses of photographs, ie passports,contrasting them with "art" photographs)
"Art is not concerned with record keeping. Art is concerned with expressing emotions, feelings and opinions. Record keeping is factual, concerned with capturing reality and concerned with recording things as they are. Art is non-factual and is concerned with interpreting reality rather than with capturing reality as-is." any thoughts on it?
the rest of the series can be found under the aesthetics box on this page http://www.luminous-landscape.com/columns/briots_view.shtml
