The Golden Rule of Thirds

I have a tendency, when photographing, to divide the scene up like a geometrical shape, like a technical drawer perhaps does with a plan.I like my space to be orderly and categorized.The driver of this garbage lorry actually stopped in the street so I could take my time to take the photo, and the guy on the back posed.I thanked them, and shook the guy (on the back)'s hand.Yes, he took of his glove before shaking my hand ;-).This photo was shot near a church not far from a city quarter known as "Dampoort" in the city of Ghent, Belgium (gand en Français).I had gotten of the train maybe 20 minutes ago and immediatly started shooting.This april 10th proved to be a very,very fruitfull day indeed.I was glad I held my walk.
