Yeah, it does give a strange perspective! This is an early image, made
when I was an art student only a year after I graduated from high school.
I shot a lot of portraits of friends with the camera back then, and all
have this look. I think it works for this portrait because of the
subject's personality! I eventually stopped using it, and only got it back
out to use a couple weeks ago when I photographed my son to test it to see
if it still worked. This was made before I cleaned the lens.
