Composition From a Non-Composer

For this assignment, I decided to take choose only pictures that 

were on my computer that I had taken or come across previously. Here's what I found:

Despite the lackluster weekend, the first thing 

I thought of when it comes to bilateral 

symmetry is a football field. 

And, as a BSU fan, I thought 

of the wackiest 100 yards 

anyone will ever see. The central axis 

of the picture is the 50 yard line. Each 

yard line is a mirror of the other side, 

even each of the hundreds of

 hash marks are a mirror of their other half. 

It has been said that 

nothing is more 

elegant or beautiful 

than a rose. This particular

 photo that I took 

a long time ago was 

a perfect representation of 

radial symmetry. The center 

of the bud acts as the 

axis for which the 

petals surround perfectly. 

This photo perfectly captures

the essence of a radial 

picture without being 

perfect circles.

I found a similar picture to this one a 

long time ago and tried to recreate it. The dollar bill 

closest to the front of the 

picture denotes its value: 1 American dollar. The 

far end of the picture

is of far less weight in terms of depth, or

 so it seems. 4 American quarters: 1 American 

dollar. Asymmetrical balance states that 

two objects, either side of a balancing

point, appear to have the same visual weight. I 

took a different spin on "weight." 

They clearly are not of the same weight, in

the most traditional sense, but 

in a different traditional

meaning, both carry identical 

weight and value.
