A brief description:
Anhedonia is the inability or reduced ability to feel pleasure. When a person suffers from anhedonia, they lose interest in the activities, hobbies, or experiences they used to love. Anhedonia makes relationships a struggle and a chore, no matter how close the people were before it manifested. It comes in two distinct flavors:
* Social anhedonia - when someone does not want to engage with other people and becomes withdrawn.
* Physical anhedonia - when someone does not derive physical joy from physical actions. For example, a hug can leave them feeling cold or empty.
Anhedonia — Denis Stelmakh
La rue est plein de surprises, certaines graves, tristes, sérieuses. D'autres plus enjouées.
Telle celle-ci.
Un peu de psychologie de rue face à une librairie aux rayonnages remplis de nourriture pour l'imaginaire... ou l'intellect... ou le bonheur... Ou tout ce qui peut passer à travers des pages en fait.
Si la psychologie peut être -dans ses formes les plus discutables tel le développement personnel- un frein aux actions collectives et donc au bien-être de tous, force est de reconnaître que sans nos amis les psys, le monde serait certainement encore plus froid et glaçant, été comme hiver.
Alors faisons comme cette dame : sourions !
a very kind person found this picture on flickr and now cate is in the november issue of Psychologies Italia. no idea what it says, but it sure looks pretty :)
In the interviews for my research on Flickr, (see The CyberPsychology of Flickr ), some people mentioned shots that were “eye candy” – those crowd-pleasers that are colorful and pretty to look at, that may even skillfully employ the rules of eye-catching composition, but don’t contain any artistic depth. These people seemed frustrated by the fact that such images often receive more attention in flickr than other images that are more subtle, unconventional, or provocative in ways that seem socially unacceptable.
"Psychology"
a schema describes patterns of thinking and behavior that people use to interpret the world. We use schemas because they allow us to take shortcuts in interpreting the vast amount of information that is available in our environment.
Theorist Jean Piaget introduced the term schema, and its use was popularized through his work. According to his theory of cognitive development, children go through a series of stages of intellectual growth.
In Piaget's theory, a schema is both the category of knowledge as well as the process of acquiring that knowledge. He believed that people are constantly adapting to the environment as they take in new information and learn new things.
quote
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Western philosophy
"That from which is everything that exists and from which it first becomes and into which it is rendered at last, its substance remaining under it, but transforming in qualities, that they say is the element and principle of things that are. …For it is necessary that there be some nature (φύσις), either one or more than one, from which become the other things of the object being saved..." Aristotle. Metaphysics. Originally Thales of Miletus
Making up an interesting title for an image can be an important creative aspect of photography. After all, did famous photographers ever resort to generic or bland labels for their work, or no names at all?
Actually, they often did. Real ordinary titles like “East Coast Fisherman,” “White Radish,” “Nude, Campden Hill, London, 1949,” and simply “Self-portrait.”
So how come these really creative people failed to conjure up a captivating title for some of their most famous photographs? Well, probably because it wasn’t necessary. The image itself was meaningful, powerful, revealing, all on its own. Maybe all they felt they needed to do was indicate the simple facts of where, when, and who, in order to provide a basic context. Then the image did the rest of the talking.
There are some definite advantages to straightforward or no titles at all. It lets viewers explore the image on their own without forcing any particular interpretation. It tosses the image into their lap and encourages them to project themselves into it, creating their own meaning. No title at all can be especially effective. It’s mysterious. It teases, frustrates, challenges, lures the viewer in: “Go ahead. Figure this out.” It’s a presentation of the purely visual with no pretense of words.
On the other hand, titles of some kind are useful handles. Without one, how do you refer to an image? “It’s the shot of the bicycle, not the bicycle in the playground… the other one, you know, the bicycle on the grass, shot from below, through the spokes up at the sky.”
Wouldn’t “Spoked Sky” be easier? Especially in online photo sharing communities, where there are thousands and millions of images, titles will help you organize, identify, and discuss images, as well as make it easier for search engines to find them.
And like I said at the start, titles can be an important part of the creative process. You can use a title to steer the viewer towards ideas that you really want to convey. The title can add a layer of meaning that is not immediately obvious in the photo. A title can even be playful or provocative by contradicting the qualities of the image.
Some titles might pop into your mind right away. You know what the image says for you. In other cases, however, you might have to really think about it. That process can be fascinating, and valuable. You know you like the photo, but may not be sure why. Searching your mind for a title might clarify that for you. It may help you uncover the subconscious feelings, memories, and fantasies that you associate with it. Coming up with a really good title might also help you alter and refine the photo. The title gives you a direction for post processing and image manipulation. It’s an excellent exercise in bringing composition in line with the idea you want to convey.
You’ll know when you have a really good title. It feels right. It “sticks.” Weeks, months, even years later, you’ll remember it. It’s a wedding of meaning and image.

Yesterday was tee shirt weather. Today it’s cold enough outside that you can see your breath. Even so, the warm colors of spring tulips add a psychology of warmth that’s unmistakable!
It's usually next to impossible to get a good photo of my grandson. He can't sit still, and tends to frown at the camera. Until I tried to get a portrait of his mom for work purposes and he decided, of course, he just had to get in there.

The shot is the entrance to the psychology building at the University of Tasmania. As I was walking past, this part of the word caught my eye.
It's time for some more of The Shop's unusual vector assets : the geometrical psychology diagrams. These were originally created as an attempt to "mathematically model human consciousness through geometric forms" in the late 1880s.
There are two main groups of assets: the first one, with mainly two dimensional diagrams, and second one, of more than two dimensions, that resemble flowers and crystals. I also added some random nuggets from the rest of the collection. The diagrams have that beautiful execution of late Victorian era scientific illustration, while also presenting an undeniable organic touch. The "three dimensional" group of assets also feature shading, and color highlights.
There are forty-five (45) assets altogether, carefully digitized, organized, and share in a variety of formats, with care. I would recommend using them as background elements, color scheme inspirations, or of course as the centerpiece of the project you're working on.

Today's challenge in the Our Daily Challenge group is "Using your head". You might say I did that... at least it felt like it trying to come up with something. LOL!

for Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Science.' I will get better pix at end of day. Below shows last year day after I bought it. You can read parts of brain better

by andy_best In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. Nowhere have I found this to be more true. #wearestillwild ift.tt/1QSK4s0
