Small Worlds

(thomas;2018-Sep-15)

I like surprising views and photographs, either because of the colours or the patterns or the perspective. Near shots (macros) of small or big things offer the viewer an unusual aspect of something they think they know well. The best macro shots combine colour, pattern and perspective in a display that can be so strange as to be unrecognisable.
