“We don’t see what we look at.
We don’t see the extraordinary perspectives, the foreshortenings and positions of objects.
We who are accustomed to seeing the usual, the accepted, must reveal the world of sight. We must revolutionize our visual reasoning.

Photograph from all viewpoints except ‘from the belly button,’ until they all become acceptable.”
