What I learned from Steven Spielberg
In the Steven Spielberg movie the Fabelman's there is a scene where he rangles an appointment with a famous movie producer/ director. The gruff director has him look at three western themed painting on the wall. In one the horizon is near the bottom, in one it is near the top, in one it is in the middle. He asks the young man to describe the three, an makes the point, "put the horizon near the bottom or the top, in the middle is expected and boring." I need to keep learning from this lesson.
this photo doesn't look at all boring it's quite nice.
