Those Wonderful Brand Propositions
Seriously, do they think we are idiots? The ones who come up with all those goofy ads - the ones that make you want to tear your hair out or inflict great amounts of damage around you – you know the ones I’m talking about. You would have to think really long and hard to come up with a reasonable explanation for all those ridiculous promotions pollu... more...

Camels That Vanish Into The Night
Abu Ben Adam (may his tribe increase), awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, looked outside his tent, and saw that all his camels had disappeared.He looked to the right. He looked to the left. He looked out in front. He looked out in back. No. They were gone. Quite gone. To assure himself that this was not a dream, he jumped back into bed, sn... more...

Gross, Ketchhup et al[1] laid the groundwork for the  formalization of the definition of perspective ambiguity. In the early part of their work they dwell at length on the assumptions that lead to their version of the definition. In the later part of their work they dwell at length on how those assumptions do not entirely hold thereby leading to th... more...

Whats the deal with the strategy of picking up a few early wickets? Though not a deranged fan of the game of cricket, I do enjoy the game in moderation, watching matches on TV and not really losing sleep over the outcome. But be as it may, I cant for the life of me understand one line that keeps popping up with great regularity no matter which matc... more...

The Format
 When you speak about format what is meant is whether you hold the camera the normal way or whether you twist your arm so that the camera goes through 90 degrees to frame your subject. Although the size of the image sensor varies from camera to camera, the image shape is always rectangular. In most cameras the proportions of the images fall into on... more...

Composition
Composition. Any time you want to make a picture, you have to consider a couple of things. What you want to be in the picture. And more importantly what you want to leave out of the picture. Put another way, it is not just about what you place within the frame of the camera’s viewfinder; just as important is what you decide to leave out of the pict... more...

Texture
Texture is the picture element which tells you what a subject would be like to feel. It gives the picture that quality which helps you differentiate the rough from the smooth, to tell if it would be soft or hard. It is the indentations on the surface that give this information, and it is their presence in a picture which can be shown up by a patter... more...

Pattern
If you take a composition and consider all the structural elements within it, perhaps the least obvious to appreciate within it would be pattern. Although we all understand what pattern means, it is kind of hard to see how it is relevant to picture-taking. There’s patterns all around us – not just on the wallpaper on your screen, tiles on your floo... more...

Form And Outline
 Shape is perhaps the most important element in identifying a subject; but in photography, it is important to distinguish between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape. Stressing the two dimensional shape, or outline, of a subject can mean that flat photographs look two-dimensional. Three-dimensional shape or form is all-important as it helps... more...
