Rules are meant to be broken. At least, some rules. Rules are not laws, rather they're guidelines to lead us toward making a conscious decision. A well thought-out decision, maybe not, but a thought process nonetheless. Composing this image while on a visit to the Oregon coast, I tried to keep the horizon from being centered, but decided to break that rule so the other elements of the image worked in harmony. I've come to realize, over time, that I'm not trying to please you with my photography. I'm trying to please me. It pleases me when you enjoy looking at my images, and even more so when you're moved enough to buy a print from my Etsy.com gallery. This is the magic that is the internet. We're able to enjoy the visual arts at no additional cost.
