Rule of Thirds Emotion

PED XING

I think this was actually scrapped alternative cover art for Change by The Dismemberment Plan.

This photo shows emotion through the rule of thirds by placing the pedestrian sign more or less on the gridline, with Travis Morrison (or Michael Smith) offset to the side. It makes you feel kind of uncomfortable, as if Travis/Michael isn’t actually the main subject, and is instead trying to fit in with the main subject by imitating it.

There are two possible futures: one in which this photo is used for a repress of Change, and one where this photo becomes album art for my own album of songs that will be bigger and better-er.
