Normally, if we study our line of vision, we only view things from one angle. From that focal point we can visualise, compose, and create a specific image. But if we turn our head a bit, either towards the left or the right, everything changes. A different angle, a different scope, and yes, a different image.

Moreover, you can even take photos while looking up or, like in this case, looking down. Yea, it helps to look down. Sometimes.

Twas during my nephew’s play time in the garden. I had no idea why he wanted to walk in circles around me than afternoon but he was laughing; clearly having fun, so who was I to stop him? I decided to take his photo.

What fascinated me was how the photo turned out. It would always remind me of that particular moment in that fun afternoon of play with such vividness. I believe that the manner on how the photo was composed played a huge role in helping me remember.

Remembering. I guess one’s perspective will determine how she or he would remember things, huh?

Trivia: Photo taken using a Sony DSC-S40; my sister’s old garden in Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, Australia; November 2005.
