Upon further reflection, isn't this the very definition of standard photography?

I sometimes wish more of us could unlearn the enculturated approach to appreciating 2D and 3D works... the child who draws a table as a rectangle, with 4 legs heading off in different directions: because that is what they understand a table to be; until they learn that in our culture at least, the camera's cyclopean view is considered the true reality.

How many more of us would draw, paint and build models and dioramas if they didn't think their work would be compared to a photograph rather than an experience of the real thing?

...sorry to ramble on, but I still remember the time I was in grade 2 when the teacher held up my drawing of Jesus preaching on the mount to show the class. Shaded rocks, many blades of grass.

 

I was pleased, and proud.

I have since learned that the effect on many of my classmates, probably decided then and there, was that they felt they couldn't draw.

Not so pleased, not so proud.
