Big Frank has been wondering lately about the difficulty in deciding on a particular view. Is there one view that more truly captures the object being perceived? Is there some kind of true essence in that object or person that one shot, view, idea, feeling can capture? Previously Big Frank posted on bifurcation - polarizing split in the way we categorize. Big Frank now turns to portraits - in this same vein. Have you ever noticed how depending on the angle, the lighting, the distance, the expression, etc. that a person can almost seem, at times, to have give off multiple different essences. We all have favorite views of ourselves: are these truer than the ones we dislike?
The photo pairs come from a flickr site devoted to "2sides".
