Let me guess, if I were in a cave with a sloped ceiling trying to
draw on
the curved surface above me. I might be blocking my light source (a
crude
oil lamp) with my own shadow. So I turn around and face the light,
lean back
painting over my head. The image I'm drawing is correct to me in this
awkward
position. But when I move away from the wall and look back at my
masterpiece
it is upside down. My neck hurts from leaning over backwards and I
have left
a confusing record for future generations. I feel satisfied and go
out looking
for dinner.
