Foreign Eye

I guess we all know the story ‘The Little Prince’, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. As a kid I used to watch the cartoon series all the time, always wondering about the home asteroid or planet the Little Prince used to live on.

I used to wonder if it was possible to live on such a small planet and how its gravity would work. Not that I knew much about physics and natural laws then, but still I tried to imagine what life on such a small planet would be like. As I grew older I found out that within our imagination all is possible and we can break or distort all the laws of physics and nature. But what does my photo have to do with the Little Prince’s story? Well, the first time I came across this type of photographic processing, called ‘little planets’, it reminded me of the cover of the ‘The Little Prince’ book. I decided that this type of processing suits the greatness and beauty of old buildings with their magnificent architecture. And also the story of my life also resembles the Little Prince’s adventures, as I experience new cultures and see new and unique architecture, like that of the Markt in Delft.
