And this time I’ll add the portrait version of the same shot because it illustrates what a difference in perspective the format of a picture makes.

Whereas the square shot directs the viewer to the actual view beyond those narrow walls, the portrait version emphasises the path. At least, that’s how I see it.

The German word Durchblick can literally mean “looking through” but is used more often in its figurative meaning: understanding or being in the know.

And a German proverb to remind us of another important opening: Love, it states (literally), goes through the stomach. In English you would say: The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
