i see some curve on the left side, too. i figured that was just minor abberation due to the lens, especially as teh staris (towards the center of hte lens) seem straight. its a great photo!

both part of the evil plan of the right handed universe to humiliate and kill left handed people. grr

i am, and you know the sinister statistically die younger because they are more 'accident prone' - which is a lie, it's just that the world is designed to trip us up

i know, p, don't worry, just letting off steam. and i have long since given up trying to be a 'woman in manual trades' type - i rely on feminine wiles and indifference to get things done, or not, now. the main irritation for me just now is the ticket machines at the tube are right handed, and i find it surprisingly hard to adapt to holding my ticket in the wrong hand

i am not a lefty though i do hold my knife and fork the wrong way round. does that count?

"is thee building face curved or is that just a weird lend effect?

When straight lines bow in from the frame edge it is known as pin cushioning. This is typically found at the long end of zoom lenses.
