The Art of Composition

This was the second of two "artistic photography" classes that I took in the spring of 2008. This class started on 4/25/2008 and ran for 8 weeks. Pro photographer Robert LaFollette was the only instructor listed; but John Jacobson, a very good photographer in his own right, monitored the Q&A forum. There were 11 students in the class, and I submitted 23 photos in all.
