mipmaps

I am having what seems to be a mipmapping problem when rendering textures on to a flat quad. At some camera positions the object looks fine, but then at others it gets very fuzzy. Unfortunately I don't really have any good leads on this problem but I thought if I posted some pictures other who have experiences other issue might be able to give me some insight.

Could anyone give me any clues about what could be going on here?

I'm a bit confused here and maybe someone can explain this to me.
