#QuartzSpecimen

2023-10-27

A #Macro, forced-perspective view of a #quartz #crystal.
In the #ForcedPerspective, the scene resembles a nearby slope up a crystal mountain chain.
In the #MacroPhotography perspective, it’s just a partial termination of a crystal growing out of its rocky matrix.
Perspectives matter, and things are rarely as they seem.
One of Fox’s (the #photographer) professors, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi (linktr.ee/drolu) once told him, “Never trust your intuition. It will mislead you every time.”
Fox has remembered this wisdom to this day (which is impressive because Fox’s memory is terrible. Also, it was a remark about alternating current circuits, but it still applies).
