An effective evaluative tool. Been doing this forever on my own stuff after learning it in art class.

I don't this works for every image, but it is a good guide to see if some form of aesthetic composition is at play.

Very cool. Apart from the the technical stuff I find it very difficult to teach photography
nikos79, I taught some technical stuff, but mainly I would say I was a facilitator, nudging them to experiment and look at the work of others. Also, to understand the value of doing something agaain and again and again. For a few years I also worked as a moderator in assessing A-level artwork for an Examining Board around the country, assessing work in photography, graphics and fine art. The fine art lecturer in my own college once brought some work to show me, where one of her own students had made many repeated drawings of her own hand of about 15 or 20 in total. The Fine Art lecturer, asked me if I thought this was a grade A, as she wasn't sure. I said definately. Do you teach nikos79?
"They are scatological and coprophagous. They photograph only their anxieties and their neuroses", referencing the works of Richard Avedon, Jean Sudre, David Hamilton, Diane Arbus, Duane Michals, and the late work of Bruce Davidson
"In photography colour remains chemical, not transcendental as it is in painting".
It's a shame such quotes exist, since they mostly show a lack of understanding on Cartier-Bresson's part. "Kids these days and their silly ideas" is what it reads as.
I’m not asking anyone to agree with it.
And I was talking about him, not you.

It would be illuminating to know how old he was when he said this. It’s a thing that happens with age. There’s your own way and the wrong way.

I partly agree with it, especially about color working very differently in photography than in painting
