As for shapes, circles and squares are static, while rectangles and triangles are active. Now enough of the technical jargon and lets look at some photos.
Here is a photo by some dude named Ansel Adams.
There is a curve (the river) here that runs from bottom right to top left. Your eye can't help but follow the curve. But, there is a significant problem here. Where does the curve lead? To the left of the photo. What's there? We don't have a fucking clue. Why? Because Mr. Ansel Fucking Adams decided to crop it out.There could be huge Swedish flight attendant gangbang going on at the riverside or maybe there is some hot caribou on caribou action in the forest but we don't know about it because it's not in the photo. Nice going Ansel you fuckface.
Next we have a famous photo by Robert Capa:
What is this shit? Almost no lines, no shapes, nothing. And it's all out of focus and grainy as hell. Yeah, I know the photo was shot on D-Day but so fucking what? I was watching a History Channel today about Pearl Harbor and I was drinking a coke and you didn't see my hands shaking. Suck it up bitch and take a decent goddamn photo.
Next we have a photo by Edward Weston:
When you first see the photo with all of triangles and vertical and diagonal lines you are temped to join the legions of Weston fans who say this is a great photo. WRONG. This photos sucks ass. Why? Because the model is totally naked but you can't see a goddamn thing. No tits, no nipples, no pubes. What kind of an asshole photographer does that?
Weston, you suck. And if you didn't bang the chick after you took the photo you are a complete fuckmunch. Dickhead.
Next up we have this photo:
It is obviously a goddamn fucking masterpiece. I don't think we need to talk about shapes or lines here as this photo transcends mere technical details. When we are confronted by a work of genius such as this, all you need to do is sit back and appreciate the brilliance of the photographer. Either that or whack off until your balls are dry.
