Photography: Behind the Lens

Out and about brainstorming during a roam around the University and more

I guess you will call this a pattern without any doubt if I didn’t tell you where they come from. Pattern, by definition, is an arrangement or design regularly found in comparable objects.

I have been wondering if we can still define something that is not artificially created a pattern. This is my attempt to explore the boundary between reality and design:

These stunning photos are all taken from somewhere in our school by using either a kaleidoscopic lens or a normal camera.

Having created the first shot, I began to ask myself why our eyes cannot be structured differently. Can we have fish eyes or compound eyes like the insects? If half of the population are having another type of eyes, say they see in a completely different way, we probably need to redefine what reality is.
