Perspective

I believe that perspective in the literal sense is the method of observation, in any sensual way, to view an object, person, or event at a given location or angle. For example, a photograph is limited to the sense of sight, and the frame of reference (location, angle, subject) of the camera. These limitations are the perspective of the photo. Figuratively, perspective can be the interpretation of that observation, or in other words, an opinion. Just as two cameras cannot be in the same frame of reference at one given point in time, therefore cannot have the same perspective, people are also observing the same things in a completely different frame of reference, and thus have different figurative perspectives. To change perspective, usually one must change the frame of reference; for the camera, it can be moved, and the person can try to observe through others' experiences.
