DEK Photography: The Geometry of Fake Masterpieces
The history of photography is full of examples of geometrically sound and simplistic photos, which were declared masterpieces and sold for outrageous amounts, because of nothing more than hype. Most people find nothing special in such photos and rightfully so.
Here is my one million dollar masterpiece (worth a couple of SBD - hopefully!)

Neo-functional minimalism, made with devastating spontaneity, should do well in auction 8-).
I quite like it, actually.
I should first send my photos to you - that would've made for an excellent title of the photo! :)
Thank you!
What @ocrdu said...and I really like it. A classic.
Thank you :)
Wow!! That's pretty striking!! Love the contrast :)
Would've looked better with someone in the window, but I guess no one was using the toilet at the time.
Hehe - maybe next time hey ;)
I agree with you
And I agree with you! :)
Lol Fair point about the hype, but I actually really like geometric photography. This is a good one!
Thank you :)
If you like to create shapes in your photos, try using squares or triangles. It's a bit easier with buildings, but when you try to use humans or animals to create a geometric relation between them, then it becomes really difficult.
It's also a general rule to put shapes in relation to the frame of the photo. That's why I keep nagging you to straighten them or crop them in such a way, as to create symmetry.
Remember my lightpost photo?
It may look like a mess, but check out how parts of the structure and its cables extend along the diagonals of the photo. There's chaos in that photo, but it's anchored to the frame in a pleasing manner.
I like it, I like it

I follow you and you can me.
This is awesome
