Double exposure has been on this weeks agenda. With that said this new film photography project that Hendra Lauw has started will be one that may be a but revolutionary. There is nothing new to the whole take a few photos and rewind...then start back over creating a second image over the top. But with this, there will be no expectation or any planned events. This will be a pure, right moment...at the right time. Stepping outside of the rule of thirds, this idea has launched into a clever thought, process.
I've heard about the Glass by Google for a few months. How...mobile photography may have a run for it's money with these new glasses. Because evidently why would you need to have a camera if the glasses you are wearing shows a face to face image, in clarity and from the view point of your own eye. That's basically saying, what I see will be recorded. As the date looms closer to the smart glasses release, the ultimate question may be answered. Will this be the one invention that triumphs over mobile photography?
What makes a photo? What makes it worth catching someones eye and keeping them there? Compostion, some of the most famous images...say the one of Marilyn Monroe, would it be loved as much if she had been more to the bottom right hand corner, instead of right smack dab in the middle? It's hard to say because she is a corner stone of Old Hollywood. Nonetheless, learning how to frame a composition whether you have a rule of thirds, lines to guide you through the scene or cropping up close, to preserve the face of monument. Take a second glance at what you are photographing and ask yourself, "Will this do?"
