My post on telegraph poles and concepts of 'straightness' provoked some further thoughts when I was travelling yesterday and today.
When it's something produced by human hands, it seems we subconsciously apply criteria that we don't apply to the natural order.
To illustrate, if the line of telegraph poles I photographed in Bathurst was a line of naturally spaced trees, we would immediately overlook the slight abberation, and comment on the stunning straightness of the line.
But when it's a manmade line, our first remark might be: "That's not real straight."
Your thoughts? Why do we subconsciously apply different criteria to different designs / designers?
