Famous buildings, monuments and historic events: we've seen them dozens of times through the lens of a camera, and every detail can seem familiar even if we never happened to visit or witness them personally. But have you ever considered that more often than not it's just one or two iconic photographs that get spread around, as if they are the only ones that exist? Can we really get a full picture just from that?
But of course there are more images to be found and curious new perspectives to be studied, even if these rare photographs are harder to procure. Let's take a fresh look at familiar things from an unfamiliar angle, and maybe discover something new about them in the process.
