Symmetrical Schroeder--nearly--a lesson in photography from photo 101

Picture
In learning and teaching photography there are certain devices we go over. The 'rule of thirds' - a picture withing a picture, a frame within a frame ,,,,and many others including symmetry. Symmetry is where both halves of the picture a balanced almost perfectly. Tonight I decided to shoot volleyball with a long lens and try some different angles. When you photograph something every day or nearly everyday sometimes you just want to approach it in a completely different way from your normal. As I climbed the bleacher and got mid court I saw the  poles that indicate where the out of bounds marker is(--and I'm guessing it also acts as an angle barrier that the ball has to be hit over the net between the posts) i saw George Schroeder being somewhat cut into a mirror image. George is a very good guy. He dedicates a great deal of his time to young people and referees from September to  well into June in volleyball and basketball. He has had his picture taken and put into the paper many times. He always has something funny to say when I see him and jokingly points out his 'best side' so that when I do put his picture in the paper. He is always kidding around about it and I like to kid back. But tonight I thought I pull page out of photography 101 and create an image using a pictorial  device--it must work if it has become a device right? Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer.
