I don't agree that photography is unique in issues of perspective. Surely a painter or drawer (?) could render any perspective that could be imagined. Think Picasso and multiple views and perspectives; Duchamp's "Nude Descending Staircase"; Escher's amazingly impossible architecture.

When out with the camera I always keep in mind that, I assume, a wide angle lens is designed to stay back and fit everything in. So, for a more dramatic composition I often do the opposite. i.e. use a wide angle up close to emphasis near object detail and distort normal perspective and sizing.
Ray, perhaps I should have qualified my statement as comparison with observational painting and drawing and not imagined.
