Balancing Act

January 27, 2014

Every week I find more parallels between life and photography.

Balance is one of the principles of design, something that every design 101 class would go over. No photograph is complete without a careful attention to the balance that it creates. Allowing different weights to play off of one another and create the desired image.

Just like photography life often gives you a lot to balance. You have to allow each weight in life to play off of one another and create the desired result.

Hopefully I can allow just as much weight from each area and get the desired result.

Until next time, take care!
