Richard ..

What I am kicking against is a formulaic approach that turns us into engineers instead of artists.

I believe like you do that being inflexible with the rule of thirds is not a good thing. However, for the newcomer it would be better to stick to the rule instead of centering all the subjects with the resulting lack of appeal from those images. I also believe that a rigid approach at the outset will help the initial steps and that eventually the photographer will see that is possible to ignore rules and regulations and become the artist that lives in all of us. Thank you for your writings, they help us a lot. Richard Greetings.
