I have recently discovered the power of Dynamic Symmetry, its origin, its stipulations and history. 
One quote from the person who put the principles together, Jay Hambridge, is worth mentioning: “As moral law without intellectual direction fails, ends in intolerance, so instinctive art without mental control is bound to fail, to end in incoherence. In Art the control of reason means the rule of design.” (Hambridge, Jay. The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry. Dover Publications, Inc. New York. 1967).
I urge you to incorporate dynamic symmetry into your static compositions.

Three Cyanotypes
The Cyanotype process produces varied results depending on three elects: sun light (very scarce here in London), the way the chemistry is applied and the density of the negative. Having a good knowledge of darkroom work is only helpful in as much as one can 'intuit' exposure time and how long to wash the final exposed paper.
