This week's challenge is rule-of-thirds. I felt challenged by this even though sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in some kind of rule-of-thirds prison that I can't escape from. I like to see that rule-of-thirds grid in my camera, on my computer screen, in my head ... you get the idea. {If you have no idea what I'm talking about go HERE & note the photos in the center of the screen that have the flashing on & off grids ... that's what goes on in my brain when I grab a camera.} I tried to think of something that I have three of ... like my 3 kids, 3 vases, 3...
In the end, my favorite way to use rule of thirds is to put my subject to one side of the photo with a very plain & simple background. I like things that are clean & un-cluttered. My mom talks about her dream kitchen with a rack of pots hanging from the ceiling ... like Williams-Sonoma she says. The thought of my dirty pots & pans hanging from my ceiling makes me cringe. I'll build more closets & cupboards before I consider such a thing. Sorry Mom. :)

What a beautiful black and white photo. That's my favorite use of the rule of thirds too--a tight shot full of emotion. Gorgeous!
