Fish-eye Studies: Chaos Winks at Order

There are funkier things to do with a 10.5mm fisheye lens, but I wanted to see what I could do to stroke nuance with a sledge hammer. So I used my fish eye as sort of a philosophical tool to tease fine shades of chaos and order from the ordinary. To me these photos bend the normal perspective both visually and cerebrally just enough to open up the scene in a new way. I understand them as meditations in how chaos and order coexist in normal life. My apologies for the size limitations of a web browser, they are meant as large studies and a certain dimension is lost when viewing them small.
