The photos of Aaron Siskind are very interesting. He uses rule of thirds in most of his photographs, and even leading lines in some as well. This is not what makes his photographs interesting however. What makes his pictures interesting for me, is the fact that he utilizes the Black and White photography to let the contrast and texture show in whatever he is taking a picture of. Most of his pictures are up close, and you can really see the texture of the object in his photos. For me, this is the reason why Aaron Siskind's photographs are so different and interesting.
Difference in repetition is one of the hardest to come by so far. It uses contrast of colors and shapes to catch your eye and draw them in to the point that you are trying to emphasise. Even though some of the photos may be dark, I think they are good examples of difference in repetition.
Leading Lines and Rule of thirds are important elements of photography. In my opinion, these photos show rule of thirds and leading lines effectively. These pictures use leading lines to draw your eye in towards the main point of each photograph, while some use rule of thirds at the same time to make the photograph more visually appealing and interesting compared to one where the main point of the photograph is completely centered.
