The dream seems to represent young woman's ambivalence (confilct of desire and teart to the idea of nex: which partly fascin- ates, partly repels. When you meet the right man which apparently you haven't this matter will solve itself.

The Ars of these is, keep your pic'ure simple. Let the person you are ploning dominate the scene and don't try to include a host of details that attract attention away from

The second rule is, keep your subject occupied. If you picture dad fixing Johnny's bleyele, or mother kalking, or Jean reading a book, all will be far more re- laxed

lezs and natural, far "camera concious," than if you usk them to stand against the wall and be "shot," even with a

camera.

And third, take close-ups, A good camera distance for pic- turing people is six to eight feet, Lemember, the closer you are to your subject, the larger the sub- Ject will be on the negative. And It's your subject you're after. For real close-ups, portrait close-up, attachment over

Fourth, watch your lighting. Sharp shadows produced by cross fighting may be all right for pic- tures of men, but soft shadows make for better snapsho's of women or children. A reflecior, such as a sheet of white card board, held so as to throw light en the shadow side of the face, will help soften the effect of strong
