The Value of Small Facts.

Did you know that you often get a better idea of the compositional integrity of a picture if you view it upside down? That’s one of the first things I learned when I was training to be a photographer. And I just discovered that you get a better idea of the form of a dance if you adjust your vision to focus on infinity, rather than the performers.

I do believe that the importance of small things can’t be overestimated. ‘Less is more,’ say the Modernists. ‘Small is big,’ say I.
