In May of this year Lomography Gallery Store Taipei officially opened in the eastern district, infusing the area with a new freshness and vitality. This was the first specialist store Lomo store the Austrian mother company opened in Taiwan. Visitors to the store can see at the far end a five meter high lomowall made up of 16,000 selected photographs. The store sells all models of cameras, film and accessories, so much so that spending an entire afternoon her just browsing is far from difficult.

How we see things depends on the angle of the camera and from different angles the camera lens sees a different world. Shanti Chang takes us back to childhood and makes us look at this world through the eyes of a child. By taking photographs from an upwards angle Chang tries to make us remember how large adults seemed when we were little. At the same time, lifting ones head at this angle is also a sign of aspiration and hope, looking to a boundless future. Looking at these photos laid out flat from above ones viewing position change once again. In the photographs ones head is tilted back to look upwards, but as we bend over to view the photographs we are also looking at ourselves somewhere in between these expressions of self confident pride and gentle modesty.
