· By shifting perspectives, zooming out and zooming in, the lens delineates, defines differently objects and subjects, this and that.
· What may seem grotesque from a distance may be sublime up close. And vice versa.

· Larger frames serve to support and help hold the weight that can overwhelm smaller frames.
· When addressing any issue, the perspective adopted may define and dictate both the questions and the answers that will be generated.
· Learning about others' trips, treks, and tricks -as well as troubles, trials, and travails- may help put ours in perspective.

· How we perceive, and how we evaluate what is perceived, depends in part on where we are in the trajectory of our human life and our existential essence. To the same stimulus we may respond with a ‘huh?’, with a ‘meh!’, or with ‘aha!
