Michael's View: (not so) Wordless Wednesday ~ Having a distorted point of view...

(not so) Wordless Wednesday ~ Having a distorted point of view...

Ever met one of those folks that are really weird? You know the ones I'm talking about.  The ones that have that mentality where they seem to live in a world of grays. Most folks say that they have a distorted point of view...

To the photographer, having a distorted point of view of the world is considered art. While walking through the "Arcades" section of downtown Nashville, TN the other day, I got fascinated by the distortions of the buildings reflected in the windows.

Does this mean that I am sick and demented? I hope not! Sometimes having a distorted point of view is not all that bad...

I will admit, that it is a different way to look at things.  Once in a while, something really neat appears.  Why not be different?

Michael, I love your photo.  Reflections in buildings are often fascinating and artistic.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photography.

Hi Michael, Good pictiure...trying to figure out which building.  A lot of good ideas come out when us normal people study those distorted people...you know...the other guys!

I wouldn't call it sick or distorted.  Sometimes one needs to just turn around and get the true picture.

My husband seems to think that I have a distorted point of view sometimes, and vice versa...Maybe we are both just artists!?  Great photo and interesting point of view!  Have a great day!!!

Mike,

One persons distortions is another persons reality. I love reflection shots. They open up a whole new world of photography.

I don't know Michael, it seems like today any one who disagrees with another is considered to have a distorted view by many.

Michael, that is one fantastic photo! And perhaps it is not so much about being distorted as being.... twisted, LOL.

I think having a distorted point of view allows us to step out of our box and breath.  Thanks for the picture.

Michael,  that looks like one of those Gee's Bend quilts that I saw at the art museum last year.  Then, like your photo they are both art!!

Michael - Just the other day, I was out in an area of our city known as River Walk.  We have a pyramid shaped building which was having shadows cast on it by the trees and other buildings.  It wasn't producing the dramatic distortions you have in your photo, but it did seem to bend the mind a bit!  I actually like the "demented" distortions produced in your picture. . .But I don't know what that says about me:-)

I would hate to see this with a hangover. It's tough enough under normal conditions.
