I remember my sister Anne, the photography teacher, telling me about the ‘worm’s eye view,’ the name for perspective I captured while lying flat across the snow, peering through the icy driftwood, and focusing across the water. Especially when striding city sidewalks while enveloped in the tunnel of high-rises, we tend to see the place at our eye level. And to think about where we’ve been (that client meeting) and where we’re headed (Starbucks? ! ). The next time you’re hoofing it in the City (wherever the city may be), snap out of that ‘tunnel vision.’ Take an extra minute or two to pause… and LOOK UP.
