I need perspective 'cos I'm facing the wall
I need perspective 'cos I'm not that tall
I need perspective heard the trumpet call
Don't trust my eyes want to know where things fall
I need perspective party time for the newly wed
I need perspective colours ran as the images bled
I need perspective like confetti on the flower bed
Don't trust my eyes priest crying he's got fire in his head
Oh Gaia, if that's your name
treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame
Oh Gaia, the wind heats the fire and blows the ash away
Peter Gabriel - Perspective
What we see depends on where we are, and what brought us to this view.

Same subject, different perspectives. This is how I've been looking at life lately. The geek in me says I'm doing a cost-benefit analysis on my life. The writer in me says I'm doing some soul-searching. However which way you look at it, this period of transition will soon be over. Pardon the cliche but I can't wait to take photos of silver linings.

Candid shot at the Glastonbury festival 2008.
The festival is held in the village of Piton in Somerset. Somerset is famous for cider. So you have to give it a try!!!!!
Cider is like wine in some respects, there are some excellent subtle delicate ciders and there are some that should be labelled "Weapons Grade".
Too much can leave you out of focus and with a loss of perspective.

Tiro sincero en el festival de Glastonbury 2008.
El festival se celebra en la localidad de Piton en Somerset. Somerset es famosa por la sidra. Así que hay que darle una oportunidad!!!
La sidra es como el vino, en algunos aspectos, hay algunos excelentes sidras delicados sutiles y hay algunos que deben ser etiquetada como "Armas de grado".
El exceso se puede dejar fuera de foco y con una pérdida de perspectiva.

Candid Schuss auf den Glastonbury Festival 2008.
Das Festival wird im Dorf Piton in Somerset statt. Somerset ist berühmt für Apfelwein. So haben Sie es zu versuchen!!
Cider ist wie Wein in mancher Hinsicht gibt es einige ausgezeichnete subtile zarten Apfelwein, und es gibt einige, die "Waffen-Grad" bezeichnet werden sollte.
Zu viel kann man aus dem Fokus und mit einem Verlust von Perspektive verlassen.
From a single video for the trainscanner, we can also make a perspective movie.
It can be a new way to illustrate the 3D shape of a whole train.
trainscannerでは、特定のスリット位置で画像をつなぎますが、スリット位置をスライドすることで、あたかも視点を移動するような効果がだせます。
いままでに撮りためた映像を、そのまま(tsconfとtsposファイルをそのまま流用して)perspective movieに変換できます。(まだ手続きがちょっと複雑ですけど)
これの面白いところは、通常のTrainScanner写真の場合には、できるだけ遠方から、望遠を使って遠近感が出ないように撮影したほうができばえが良くなるのですが、perspective movie表示にする場合には逆に、もっと列車に近付いて遠近感を付けたほうが立体感が出せるという点です。(あんまり近付きすぎると歪みが大きくなって変になります)
いずれ、TrainScanner (のstitcher)のオプションかツールとして、perspective movie作成機能を追加したいと思います。
I have been exploring the use of perspective and geometry in garment shapes as well as pattern and print. Will show results when I have finished!
A rockhopper penguin trying to find out whats happening over there ------------->
The Rockhopper penguins are small, aggressive, crested penguins so named because of the way they hop from boulder to boulder when moving around their rocky colonies. Rockhoppers are a sub-Antarctic species breeding at cool, southern localities such as Macquarie Island, the Falklands, Campbell Island, Tristan da Cunha, and the Antipodes.
Rockhoppers have distinctive crest feathers on their heads, bright orange-red bills and tiny blood red eyes. The top of the head has spiked black feathers. Like all penguins, Rockhopper have a big head, a short, thick neck, a streamlined shape, a short, wedge-shaped tail, and strong, stiff, flipper-like wings.
There is a silence where hath been no sound,
There is a silence where no sound may be,
In the cold grave—under the deep, deep sea,
Or in wide desert where no life is found,
Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound;
No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently,
But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free,
That never spoke, over the idle ground:
But in green ruins, in the desolate walls
Of antique palaces, where Man hath been,
Though the dun fox or wild hyæna calls,
And owls, that flit continually between,
Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan—
There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone.
Silence

Country Insights India: City and Village Life
By: Jennifer Kumar
Want to know how the average person in India lives? What is it like to live in village India? How does living in the village or in the city create a unique way of life? David Cumming attempts to answer in his forty-eight page book, Country Insights India: City and Village Life, while providing an overview of India’s modern culture.
Through stories of life in the city of Bangalore (Karnataka state) and the village of Thrickodithanam (Kerala state), the reader gets a good impression of how an average person lives; their triumphs, their struggles, their opportunities and desires for change. The narrations are accompanied by vivid, colorful and realistic images of daily life of average people. The photos of average people quoted throughout the book are not models, they are everyday people doing everyday things- eating their dinners, walking barefoot to school and sweating in the heat. These images may not be glamorous, but provide a raw, tangible aspect to the book. This is real life, whether it is India or America or any other country- there are people of all kinds of backgrounds living different lifestyles and making their lives successful with the knowledge, skills and resources they have or aspire to have. This is one of the lessons I have learned from the book.
I really enjoyed reading the quotations accompanying the photos. People of all ages share some interesting aspect of their life in one or two sentences. The children’s perspectives are always so simple, sweet and bring a smile to my face. For example, Ashok says, “We have to wear a uniform, like all school children in India. I’m going to be in trouble because I’ve lost my tie.” (p. 31) More cute quotations are on pages 12, 25, and 38.
As India is so diverse and difficult to describe in kid-terms, I give kudos to the author for achieving this. Though the book reduced stereotypes by focusing on individual people and telling their stories, there are parts of the book that I felt could be improved.
Throughout the book, the terms ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ are used. It is true these descriptors have a grain of truth- but for whom? Why should, for instance slum dwellers or villagers be labeled as ‘poor’? Is this a label they created for themselves or the author has created for them? And to what is this compared to? It is true that many villagers and slum dwellers do not make a lot of money, but being a graduate of a social work program in India, I do not call these people ‘poor.’ In some ways the villagers and slum dwellers taught me an important lesson in prosperity. When visiting their homes, they had few food or drink items. It is also true they had little money. But, as it is considered puniya (good luck) to serve something to guests, they would do anything to offer us any food or drink item, preferably tea, with milk. Villagers would come together and pool ten or fifteen rupees (US .20-.30) to buy a packet of milk to feed tea to me and my friends. To me this is a wealth beyond financial definitions. Their spiritual, mental and emotional wealth helped them temporarily overcome any financial challenges they were facing. Impressive! A specific example of judgmental wording is seen in the photo descriptor on page 20. Next to a picture of a man in a village sitting next to his one room house made out of what appears to be scrap pieces of wood reads, “None of the people in this Colony have the money to build a good home.” In this sentence are two words I contest: “none” and “good house”. To illustrate my contention with these terms, I will share one more story. There was a person in a Chennai slum who wanted a new house. Their house would be a one room wood construction with mud walls. This person was so proud, happy and appreciative to provide a roof over the head of his family. He had been saving for months to have a new home. I met the builders of this house. They were happy to provide this service for this man and his family and were also happy to have a job so they could provide for their own families (see a picture of these construction workers here). It is true, if you put a person like me into that situation to live, I may feel lack or need, but the people who live in these situations may not feel this way at all.
I understand it is difficult to write any book, story or blog from a true non-judgmental or biased viewpoint. As humans we write from our viewpoint, which is inherently biased in someway. It is often the reader’s intuition and worldliness that inspires questions. This can be done as an adult, but can children always make this discrimination? Would children question the words ‘poor’ and ‘rich’ especially when coupled with powerful images (such as the man sitting next to his house)? This is important for parents to do when reading books and when sharing any type of media with their children. Because I believe it is a rare find to read or watch something truly unbiased with your children, rather than not share it, share the questions that come up in your mind as you read it with your children. Ask them what they think ‘poor’ and ‘rich’ means or any of these black or white descriptor words. Have a discussion with your children, see the world through their eyes and keep teaching each other about the world around you!

A friend's husband gave her an art-set for Xmas and she didn't know where to start. This is a quick 5-layer Photoshop job intended to suggest a simple flat-colour aerial-perspective exercise.

What draws me to landscapes is their sheer presence against us humans and the awe they carry on their own.
This was a shot I took while on a recent trip to Garmisch as we were heading for the Mount Zugspitze, the topmost point in Germany.
We just looked in awe at the mighty mountains before us and these tall pine trees that camouflaged it.
Here is another perspective of the Key Bridge taken the other day. Comparing to the other shot below in the Comments, this version places the bridge off more to the left, and gets a little more of the breakwater stonework there along the Fort's edge. This view is a little more to the east and slightly south, which should work I think with the rising sun, if I am able to get back here for some nice sunrise shots. It also overlooks on the far shoreline the old Bethlehem Steel Complex. Once the glory of Baltimore and one of the large steel plants in the world. Not any longer :(
Not sure which I like best. I will have to see how the sun is rising when I can get here. There is the option of moving to the left more down along the breakwater to see how the view adjusts as well.
