Recently, I had a friend run a script on thousands of photos through some software, and an interesting trend came up - it turns out that a very high proportion of photos my cat has taken utilize the fibonacci numbers for composition.

Coincidence??

... looks like an inverted Bell Shaped Curve to me ... sadly not a normal Gaussian distribution I suspect

You need to look at the triangles within triangles. I don't know who Lee Friedlander (sp?) is, but many folks liken our cat's photo's to that guys.

always wanted to be with the cats... also, it's a greener solution without all the polished woods, bronze handles and all that eventually get into the water system...
