Zoom

In the book Zoom the pictures start out as a simple rooster. The rooster turns out to be a toy in a table top toy set in a magazine. The magazine is shown being read by a lady on an advertisement for a California Cruise line. The cruise advertisement is on the side of a bus. The bus is on a T.V. being watched by an Indian in the middle of the Arizona desert. This whole scene turns out to be a stamp on a letter being delivered by a mailman, in a boat, to some natives on a tropical island. All of this is being watched by a man in an airplane. Then the pictures zoom out again and finally endas in a scene showing earth from space.

My inference was that the book will show a broader and broader view, turning simple scenes into a small part in a larger picture. This was correct and had a lot to do with perspective. As the perspective grew and grew, the viewer's whole attention changed with it.

When I was looking at the book zoom, I was blown away at how dramaticly the perspective changed. I didn't think it would be anything more than a farm at the end. Instead it was the world. Thinking bigger and more open mindedly helps altar your perspective.

In the field of science, people will be interested in different perspectives of the world in which we live in. a bioligest might prefer a small perspective, studying one single organism within billions. Where an astronomer woud use a much broader perspective to study our relation and location in space. The perspective varies from field to field in science.
