.02/2: Aspects of the equipment used oin photography
*are* an exact science. Things like rules of third,
etc. also converging lines, etc. can also be argued to
have "scientific basis" (not neccessary but can be

mind/vision of the photographer are artisitic in
nature.

"scientific fact" that the species has evolved such
that humans are much more "taller" than they are
"wider", it is natural to assume why the portait mode
is so called :)
