corner view ≈ taking a different perspective

imagine an old dictionary you find in a thrift shop, and you tear it up.

you collect the images in a box, for future reference
with vintage stamps you make a whole new showroom of stools that would make doctor zhivago blush (i promise! i don't know where he pops from!)

you open up a box of tea bags while humming lara's theme, and you simply do not want to break up the order of things; you just want to stare at it? 

you're walking a cold winter's day off your thermal boots and your eye gets drawn to a new (imaginative!) world map of broken tree sticks and dying earth.
all this and more happened to me as i was cleaning up my photo library. thank you dana, for such a wonderous theme. i am traveling towards different perspectives as we speak, this is getting curiouser and curiouser. ;)

    As usual you took a different perspective.
    Altijd een beetje bijzonder en apart.
    Ja die aandoenlijk gerangschikte theezakjes..... ik herken het gevoel.
    Liefs renilde

    My favorite kind of perspective, an adventure through unexplored words and poetic crannies!

    Surreal, surrealistic and beautiful perspective.

    Je pense que le mot que tu pourrais employer pour nos points de vue est : coïncider ;)

    love it Nadine! i love how your brain works - and that you're able to capture it for us! Tzivia says it so well. So reading Don's comment now, I guess I'm not alone. also can't wait to see what you do with those dictionaries scraps.

    (and yes, i let myself be fragile for the corner view. what a different perspective is for?)
