I have been thinking about how we look at things that aren't real. I'm talking about spaceships, cars and photoediting.
I mean, we know how a car is supposed to look like. We see them every day, real cars, our brains are tuned to them in terms of how they look and move around us. Spaceships are a different thing, we're not that used to seeing them around. Does that make a difference when making images with a scale model? Is a spaceship an easier sell than a car?
I made an experiment with the Maserati Boomerang model I've been building during the past couple of months.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as at is - infinite.
William Blake ( 1757-1827)
English poet
" Depois de todas as tempestades
e dias ensolarados, hoje eu percebo.
Os conceitos e pré-conceitos caem,
e a nuvem que outrora embaçava
minha percepção não mais, me traz medo."
" After all the storms
and sunny days, now I understand.
The concepts and preconceptions fall,
and the cloud that once clouded
My perception is no longer brings me fear. "

Without getting into this too deep...let me just say that perception is an incredible thing! It is all dependent on individuals...and it is not right or wrong. it just is.
what people perceive me to be, depending on who THEY are, is something rather interesting to me...often when i was younger i was shaped by these perceptions, and by my reactions to them. Now that i am (chronologically!) grown up, negative perceptions of me don't effect me quite so much, (as in i do not give a rats patoot) and positive ones just confound me, because my perception of me is so different than theirs!
i need to stop looking thru the hole in the leaf, and only seeing the small part of me....at the very least, it will allow me to attempt to live up to what the positive perceptions of me are. i have several nicknames, that have puzzled me, based on perceptions....given to me by friends. i have not ever seen myself as any of them...maybe it is time to see me thru their eyes.....however, i do not ever think i will understand the nick name "Pickle"!! Perhaps that friend is just plain crazy :)
The weekend cometh.....go forth and enjoy!
Not my usual camera angle, but I wanted to show the golden morning sun hitting this Fly Agaric mushroom
Please take a minute to read this uncanny phenomenon.
I was so excited to FINALLY see some snow outside our windows that, with "Window Wednesday" in mind, I took a shot of these two images which were placed randomly on my windowsill in December.
NOT until I just uploaded this post did I notice that the watercolor on the left blends so naturally into the real background it looks like I just put a mat on the sill!
I promise you this was NOT planned! The photo card I received from my husband is on the right, and his watercolor is on the left, along with a little added "Charlie Brown" tree . . .
WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
Twenty years ago i was accepted into the College of Art and Science at Bowling Green State University. As excited as I was, over a span of 4 months leading up to my travels there I had strange nightly dreams! Each night i dreamed that I packed my belongings and set out to school with each and every person I had ever known in my life...hundreds of faces swam before me in each dream...and each location was different, Italy, Mexico, my grandfather's farmland! But each dream left me feeling lost and desperate...unsettled!
The final dream I had was the night before my departure......i was wearing a long, white cotton dress that blew in the breeze. Everyone was in may backyard as i opened the door and stepped outside. The grass was greener than any grass i had ever seen. On the picnic table was a bowl of deep red apples....everyone smiled and waved at me as a I walked past....alone....toward the back split rail fence and the golden wheat field beyond! Slow motion crept over me and I was consumed with dread!
As i approached the garage on the right I stopped breathing......I set my eyes to the back fence....but as I passed the garage there was a man standing there....i could see him in the corner of my eye! And as I placed my hand on the fence rail and began to climb over....his hand took hold of my shoulder......
And that is when I woke up!
The news came the very next morning.....family circumstances rendered me unable to go to Bowling Green! I was bitter about it, letting it define my life for a few years, blaming others...the dream and the clarity of it still haunt me today.....
But I NOW know that each and every one of my obstacles in life are totally imposed by me.....
Day 5 of the reveals for the G+ Photo Scavenger Hunt. Category: Perception. For this I thought what is more perceptive than the 10th Doctor? The model is a co-worker of mine that does one of the best 10th Doctor's I've seen. The tardis in the background is one of his miniature collectibles that I took a nice close shot of. @tenthdoctormatt
See all of the submissions over here...
Every person has a different view of another person's image. That's all perception. The character of a man, the integrity, that's who you are.

Another one from when I met up with Laura two weeks ago. :)

And then look again. At myself.
Do I know me? or
do I understand myself?
To realize that my own perception of
myself – will define the way
my world looks.
For even the worst things and
those that seems unchangeable –
I only need to change my point of view
and I can face them again.
