I should preface by saying I usually try and bend any type of rule, even if I create them myself. So for the third time I will update my personal rules...
1. Photographs should be spontaneous. Try to veer from the "photo shoot" mentality
2. Photographs should address the body and shape
3. Photos should work as diptychs
4. Do not take unintentional shots. If you don't see it with your eyes you won't see it though your lens.
5. APROVECHAR - that is to say make the best use of the given location and/or subject
Rules UPDATED
1. Photographs should be spontaneous. Try to stray away from the "photoshoot" mentality
2. Photographs should invoke emotion
3. Photos should be self reflective
4. Don't take unintentional shots. If you don't see it through your eyes you won't see it through your lens
5. Respect light and manipulate it with grace
Rules
1. Take photographs that address the relationship of the body and space
2. Photos should not need to be manipulated on photoshop
3. Don't take unintentional shots. If you don't see it through your eyes you won't through your lens
4. Respect light, manipulate it with grace
5. Make the best use of your location and/or subject

Ch. 3 Summary
Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom are the three main editing/viewing programs we will be using to work on our digital images. From my reading of the handbook, the most basic and important elements of Photoshop are Panels, historgram, masks, adjustment layers and filters. Adjustment layers affect color and tonal adjustments while Masks prevents adjustment from affecting an entire image. Another important tool is Smart Objects, which are layers that remember their original condition no matter the amount of editing. Bridge works as a viewing mechanism, similar to that of a contact print. Lightroom on the other hand is described as "the all-in-one tool", although I have yet to discover why. A few things that the Lightroom program entails are a Module Pick, Panels which assist in editing tasks and Filmstrip which allows access to images.
