I'm confused. The writer of the article seems to think that modern photographers are unacquainted with the golden ratio. However, it's mentioned in just about any web link on composition just after the "rule of thirds". This shouldn't be surprising, and it's not at all accidental. It's entirely planned by the photographer. Kind of a weird article to write. Did they not have any photographers on staff to ask about it? (Serious question - I know that the Chicago Tribune recently fired all their photogs and now have reporters use cell phones for their photos.)
