Everybody has his preferences—in pictures, in reading matter. in victuals, end other things. Abraham Lincoln summed it up neatly when he said. "You will like this story. if this is the kind of story you like."
Despite differences of taste, now-ever. most people agree on one point. They feel that something individual something a little bit out of the ordinary—is better. It is the "dit arent" trestment—the "individ ccuch"—that counts.
Thats specially true in snaps A clever idea—a different pos? -a little individuality in the light arrangement—these give you pictures that make people sit up and take notice. And they're more interesting to you. too—they give you more satisfaction.
Consider one concrete case—snapshots of children. You know that most of them are "too much alike." As a rule, they tell no story—the child simply stands or sits and locks at the camera. Yet every child has a personality of its own. He—or she—has personal mannerisms, and personal activities. These are picture material. and will lend that necessary touch of truth and individuality to your pictures, Trouble? None at all Shots of Junior curled up on the couch in some absurd pose while he reads the Sunday comics, shots of your lit lecturing her doll on proper behaviour shots of them both trying to teach the puppy to do tricks—these are just as easy to get as the old, routine shots. Easier, sometimes because children are natural actors. and take readily to an idea if it seems like play.
And this is just one field. The same rule applies to all other snapshots. Seek the individual touch—the "different" flavour—and vouli build en album that is much more interesting.
