That's not how perspective and vanishing points work. If you look
straight at a brick wall then the upper and lower vanishing points are
both at infinity. Its only when you look on the brick plane at an
inclined angle (non perpendicular) that you can begin to see vanishing
points and the more distant bricks start to appear smaller.
