Falling Up
When I was a kid, one summer’s evening, I was looking at the stars. At first glance, they all looked to be the same distance away from me but I knew that was not the case. What if could see the difference, I thought- and for a moment the heavens opened and I could imagine the tremendous depth of the sky. I had the illusion that gravity was a small force and I could just as easily fall off the planet and into the sky. I panicked and literally grabbed hold of the Earth so I would not fall.
And then it was all gone; that moment when the Universe opened and I could see something truly remarkable and stunning.
3D is like that for me.
I can look at an image and after a time it will open up to me. The depth takes on a convincing reality and it is easy enough to leave this world and visit another.
There are many reasons why I’ve fallen into working with 3D. This is another one.
