The Rule of Threes

I recently watched a video by photojournalist Will Yurman, who several years back started “A day A photo,” a project dedicated to shooting and publishing a photo on his site every single day, 365 days a year. (Or in this case 366…maybe, it is 2012…ha). He talked about how fun it was to periodically go back through the images and make visual connections. He finds it interesting that we as photographers seem to see the same thing over and over again.

So that got me thinking, what do I see and shoot over and over again? What is my tendency as a photographer?

Looking back through my photos, the answer became quite obvious.

flamingos in bolivia

Wild Chilean horses

sea lions in chile

Pelicans in CHile

Apparently, if there are three animals, I will shoot the picture.
