Avold stiff poses such as the picture to the right. S THERE any form of amusement older than story telling? From the cradle to the grave we hear storles--and like them. Before you were able to toddle, you were hear- ing about "This little pig went to market, etc.," while mother gently pulled each toe as a matter of {llus- trating her story. Hundreds of thousands of juvenile story books are sold every year and the ones we love most in our young- er years were those translated into pictures, because they had a human appeal, All through our lives we re- tain our interest in picture stories. It is this appeal that takes us to the movies and causes us to look through the pages of daily newspa- pers and magazines for pictures that tell stories of human activities. But when it comes to snapshots, go many seem to forget how much they enjoy looking at story-telling + pictures. They pick up their cam- eras and just shoot, seemingly satis- fied to get any picture at all, as it was in the old days of, "You Press The Button And We Do The Rest." There is a better way to take pic- tures. - If you want some good laughs look over some of the pictures you have taken. Unless you are an exception, and let's hope you are, you will prob- ably find a picture of Uncle Louie standing as straight as a plumb-bob line, backed up against a tree or the garage door, and appearing to be facing the firing squad ready to Te shot at sunrise. If Uncle Louie can't do anything else, the chancés are he 'can read a newspaper, 80 why not have him do that. You will have a picture that tells -some sort of a' story at least, and is seasoned with interest touch tbat that human ghould be in every film you expose You go out on a picnic with your friends. What do you do? The chances are that you line up the. gang, you snap the camera and again have just another picture when it would be just as easy to have the crowd enjoying the lunch and perhaps one member busily én- gaged in the act of "exterminating" a luscious ear of corn or doing a "boarding house reach" for the po- tato salad. ) If you were making movies, would you take foot after foot of film with your actors doing nothing? Of course not, and it isn't a bad idea to think of your "still" camera as a movie camera filming a drama. Get action and meaning. This means that you should think before you shoot. Look at the two pictures above. Bill is evidently a sailboat enthusi- ast. Dad wanted to take his picture with his newest boat, so without giving any thought whatsoever to the story-telling angle, he had Bill, who is too young to know better, pose with his boat in front of an anti- quated automobile. You can't sail a boat by holding it in your hand and what has the car to do with it? The picture to the right tells the story for the boat is in the water where it belongs and Bill is about to "shove off." In case you have never given much thought to this before, just take a look through a newspaper or magazine and notice which please " you more--pictures of peoplé mere- ly looking at the camera or pictures of people doing something humanly interesting and significant. Chances are that the story-telling pictures will be your choice, and you'll make up your mind that hereafter that's the kind you'll aim to take. Good . | luck! | JOHN VAN GUILDER.
