Jeez, I've never looked at composition from the geometry standpoint. I love pictures that show trains in relation to the environment they pass through. Maybe that's why I love all the N&W steam work by Winston Link. I suppose you could study his work and some other pictures that I like and find some kind of geometric pattern, but that's not what pulls my chain. I just like pictures that show railroad and something about the territory. Maybe that's why, in Danneman's Spirit of Railroading book, the Mel Finzer aerial shot on p 188-189 is one of my favorites. Geometric pattern? Dunno. --DRB -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved
