Again, I'm a fan of perspectives and angles in photography. And not in the way most people are.

There's some about looking at a picture from a weird angle that makes it more facinating to me.

Perhaps it is the realization of some very basic biases we all have. Most of us have a bias that prefers things to be level, perpendicular and parallel to gravity.

Not all of nature is like that though. Certainly, if plants had eyes, their view would be very different indeed.

More importantly to me, I think different angles like these always give something new. I can turn my head and everything sort-of looks different, but my brain compensates and it seems no different really. If I look at a photo, my brain doesn't engage in such compensation. I guess messing with my own brain is part of my motivation. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or not!
