"Perspective Shifting" [Gross and Shapiro - Tao Of Photography - Reflections - Sec. 2:3-4]
Fresh view comes fast when point of view
Is changed – quite simple – two things do –
First, move around or up or down;
Then change your lens, watch what’s now found.Take point of view of some small speck,
Or bird in flight, giraffe’s long neck –
Some other being’s view of life
Which you both share – bring out delight.To change the ratio of self
To universe, lens-change will help –
Show more; show less; both stimulate,
As viewers view, participate –In pictured-world they had not seen;
Are forced to deal with what has been
Displayed within your pictured frame –
Then leave the scene forever changed.Thanks Lord for this.
