Some people can be so convincing that your perspective of an issue changes just by standing near the person.

Algumas pessoas são tão convincentes que sua perspectiva sobre uma questão muda só de estar perto da pessoa.
From a tour guide's perspective, it's one thing to walk around the narrow roof of the Natural Bridge when all alone, and quite another to herd a gaggle of tour participants across it. Half of the group are birdwatchers obsessed with a chickadee on a distant tree branch; the others are the daredevil type too damned curious about what lies over the edge. A misdirected step and unintended nose-dive into the boulders below are all too imaginable.
But then it's time for the guide to do some diaphragmatic breathing, and just relax. After all, everyone is enjoying the lovely spring day, and overtly grateful that you've brought them here. And besides, they've all signed waivers releasing you from personal liability.
As it turns out, those waivers were probably not worth the paper they were printed on. Still, here you are years later, basking in the memory that you lost no one and killed no one and didn't even have a single sprained ankle on all of those trips to darken your name.
And now, peering at this one moment frozen in time, you can turn your attention to an appreciation of nature shorn of all responsibility. You can meditate on the old fork-trunked ash tree, the same one shown from below in Part 1. Or you can ponder the moss-and-lichen-dappled Pounds Sandstone, which 320 Ma before had been a stream deposit in another, much earlier bedrock canyon.

Final images for my latest creative brief at uni. Using fisheye and unusual angles I played with perception and perspective.
Photos from 'Perspectives' for 'Native Gardens,' Karen Zacarías' celebrated comedy about a young Latino couple that moves into a fixer-upper next to an older couple with a beautifully kept garden.

A good friend of mine reminded me that I had not given serious thought to perspective, so I started to remedy that situation. This is a rought 1-point perspective fun sketch. Yes... that's a big J. :) That silly plane is a reminder that there's more serious work ahead.
Thanks also go to Jonathan Rector for his quick perspective tuts on youtube. He's on Twitter too @artbyjar. More to come!
