....... and buildings so distorted by wide-angle lenses that it is impossible to see any craftsmanship and/or proportion.


There is no credit to the photographer when taking a building face-on or at a slight angle, only to the Architect: this is just passive photography. Only by capturing the building at an unusual angle or from from a viewpoint that the Architect did not envisage, or by manipulating the image, can the photographer claim any credit for the photgraph: this is active photography.
