I parked in front of the Pasadena City Hall and took several shots of the parking meters when lo and behold, a guy at the end of the last meter walked by and it somehow sealed the whole deal with my "dwindling size perspective" shot!

The farther away an object is from the viewpoint, the smaller it appears; therefore, when subjects of familiar size are included in a photograph, they help to establish the scale of the picture. Scale helps the viewer determine or visualize the actual size or relative size of the objects in the picture.
A little spice... adds colour.

It just depends... on where you are putting it. :D:D:D:D:D

- as in optical and architectural perspective (highlighted by the wideangle lens), but also figuratively - points of view, relativity of perceptions and mindsets...
St Ghastly Grim (St Olave's) church, hidden amidst the City and part of its unique amalgam of history and modernity, of the spiritual and the material world...
Perspective: it's a thing. I'll level with you. Perspective is a good thing even when everything around you is taupe, beige, grey, greige. What I've left behind by dashing into this little place was mostly greige — levelled, lowered, self-centred, selfish, colourless, bland. It's different in here.
Put aside sex and gender. They aren't important. All you need to know is who is beside me. They are alone, but not. There is a shape and form which says this is their spot; it's familiar. There's a kindness in the chatter from the staff — no hurry over this lunchtime pint. It's comfort. Their story is untold. Their theme is clear.
At their feet, almost unnoticed, is a shaggy dog; not unkempt, just shaggy by nature. This is a restaurant and that is most evidently a dog. An Irish terrier — uncommonly genteel. There's more of it here in the West Country than I've seen elsewhere. At the celebrity café in Newquay when you walk in with a dog, the dog is "seated" and served a fresh bowl of water — then you get a table. If it's a big, black greyhound then a portion of the fish of the day is put aside, cooled then later fed at the table to that patient, gentle hound. That was Newquay and this is Falmouth — between this shaggy dog and their companion there is a closeness, even more than between the gentle staff and the customer. This is love as pure as imaginable.
It's an ice breaker. We chat, pat and for a moment the dog extends their kindness to a travelling stranger. Sated, it relaxes back into its role as carer, companion, dog. There's no point-scoring. There just is…
There's no forgetting this wonderful, quiet interlude: free of rush, tension, haste. That will all return. But right here, right now, this is one of my most memorable moments.
People who look through keyholes are apt to get the idea that most things are keyhole shaped.

This is Karriem AKA Dream'z my youngest son,
I relate this quote to him because he has ADHD & is Asthmatic, now you give a kid with ADHD some Albuterol & see what you get, LMAO
Anyway they said give him the ADHD meds, me no way!
I've had him tested but they say he doesn't need special classes.
They also noted that on one of the test he scored so high now this was in the 5th grade mind you!, that they couldn't believe it there were adults that didn't come close.
Doc says that most kids with ADHD are borderline genius but the attention isn't right.
Well Karriem is 18 & doing just fine!
I'm proud because he's mine, I never medicated him & there were time's where I had it up to here over how they called me back & forth to school but he's not lost.
He's taught himself how to play the guitar on his own & there is almost nothing you can tell him about a computer.
He didn't get it from me, lol...
It's OK to be different it's OK to be you, because no one else can be it & nobody can live your life for you.
