I found this picture in a book. I am new to photography and have been learning about composition for the last month. Is this dark corner detracting from the image because it pulls the eye away from the subject/rest of the image since it is the area of highest contrast?
My theory is that time, not money, is the primary reason for the demographic collapse of the Western world. And I don’t see much effort going into addressing this. But then again, I have no numbers to show for it.
What I keep hearing from talking to members of previous generations is “there was time” and “life moved more slowly” and “there was less stress”. So here goes my theory.
Ever since women joined the general workforce, working hours should have been cut by half for everyone. Now there was no longer a primary provider or a primary housekeeper. Both parties get home from work, already tired, to do laundry, cook, pay the bills, read the mail, clean, and maybe study for career progression. At the end of all this, a full-time worker gets to enjoy… maybe 2 hours of free time on a good day?
Urban overcrowding only exacerbates the problem. It baffles me that working hours have not at least been reduced to 6 just to account for commute considering that the vast majority of jobs are held in overcrowded cities.
Now, I do of course think that money also plays a big role — given that rent alone takes a huge cut of people’s paychecks — but a smaller one than time.
I’ve read great things about it and am wondering how it performs on fine hair. Is it too heavy or shiny?
