Middle Ground

(Snapped in January, 2011 - using a Holga 120)

I get fussed at, from time to time, for my tendency to center myself in the majority of my self-portraits. And I'll admit that I'm not real keen on the whole "rule of thirds" thing, but that's not to say that I don't understand or appreciate it...I guess it's more that it just doesn't come naturally to me.

(Unless I can find a way to train myself out of it - I might be doomed to be a symmetry gal, forever...)

Thing is though, toy camera photography practically gives me carte blanche - to place my subjects dead smack in the middle of the frame. The images are mostly only tight - right in the center...

...and that - coupled with the square format of the prints - really jibes with how I usually set up my shots...

Yet another blessed reason, to dearly LOVE my favorite Holga...
