The ?AHA! Experience  

 

Photographers all strive to evoke an emotional response in their viewers. As a psychologist, my photos experiment with unusual perspectives of reality, including Aha! shots. By zooming inside the boundaries of objects, I steal your perceptual cues, producing momentary confusion. With just the right dose of obscurity, a few seconds of perplexity yields to surprise: the Aha! experience. See if you can solve the following puzzles. The answers can be found below in the Key.
