Now this is *!1 to the good, tor there is nothing like variety far adding Interest and appeal to a pictare collection. To get even more pleasure out of your snapshooting, and assist you in becoming a better photographer, however, choose a picture specialty. There are two very good advantages in specializing. First, It gives jreu something definite to follow, and when you are in the mood tor taking snapshots, you needn't Just seek subjects at random. Second, a collection of pictures garnered on one subject tends to be Utore interesting--because you can •take coanprUona. For example, suppose pOS to joy making sunset picture*.

Furthermore! such specialties are not merely a comparison of the different forms or types. They teach you a great deal about photography because they give you plenty of pictures that can be compared on their technical merits alone. It your specialty is Informal portraits, ia a short while you will be able to tell just what lighting produces the best results and the camera posi-' tton best suited for different types of faces. In this way you have learned something definite--a principle that you can apply later la taking other pictures. There are a number of fine specialties open to the amateur photographer.
