Glasses: Vantage point


I stumbled upon the picture on the left when before we began shooting our responses to the Berman’s Invented Object exhibit. I was still figuring out how to use my camera and decided to type, “cool digital photography” into the Google search engine where I discovered this picture. Despite the fact that the image is from Wikipedia, the vantage point that is portrayed allowed me to experience the vision of people who depend on glasses in order see properly. The way that the image is refracted through the lens inspired me to attempt to mimic this technique.  I tried to reproduce the refraction and focus within the photo that I took on the right. I was able to find a pair of glasses with a strong enough prescription to  refract the image but was unable to reproduce the focus due to my camera’s inability to manually focus shots.
