Another great one. :)

Wondering about the perspective/angle of view a lot here... maybe I'll find out.

Thanks so much. Yeah the angle is an interesting question that I have done some thinking on. It seems to me that this is an important question in the world of photography, making the photographers position obvious or at least possible “to read”, and I can understand that on the one hand, at least if the goal for ones photography or imagery is a documentary one, but to me that aspect of photography is not important at all. I’m not a documentary photographer; I have no interest in trying to describe the milieu I’m working in, not at least in an “objective” or documentary way. I am however interested in using the milieu or the objects I’m photographing for other purposes than just trying to describe them or even be true to them. I have to be true to my own experience of what I see though, that is the only focus I have really, which is hard enough. I am first and foremost a conceptual artist that use a camera as a tool not a photographer in some kind of traditional sense (whatever that is…;)). Anyway in this particular case I used my telescopic lens, which I often do not only for its superb quality but mostly for the flatness it creates. I kind of like that.
I did two images a while ago that in a way addresses this issue, about the photographers position: [link]

Heh, the title brought a smile. A creative expression of a surreal abstraction.

Yeah it was a real find, and the title seamed appropriate. Sometimes reality is more surreal than a surrealistic construction of sort…:-)

Heh, yes, I know what you mean; some things are so strange that you couldn't even make it up.

Precisely, and I prefer that before the construct, so to speak. So nowadays I almost never change what I see in the camera in the post-production, I try to compose in the viewfinder. I do however always change the feel, so to speak; the light, the atmosphere, the colors; things like that in order to try getting closer to the emotion and the idea of what I saw, so in that sense I’m not very interested in “reality” or to document reality, taking snapshots of it with a camera (I don’t believe that is possible even), but I do like to compose in the viewfinder, it is kind of similar to doing sketches and it makes photography more fun…:-)
