Perfect Compositions
I was savoring a quiet moment on Sheares Bridge, watching sunset and reading. Susan Sontag wrote, in her famous photography essays, On Photography:
"Where as painter, according to (Edward) Weston, has always "tried to improve nature by self-imposition," the photographer has "proved that nature offers an endless number of perfect 'compositions,' - order everywhere." "
What is your philosophy in taking (or making) a photograph?

Baaaaaahhhhhh!!! As always, amazing photographs. My take on compositions, "I don't have a take". I am still struggling with the idea of analysing the scene and deciding a nice view to shoot.
This "extract a good composition" thing really bugs me when I am taking a picture, and that adds to the nervousness, and does only harm to an already mediocre picture. *SIGH!!*
