"Can't decide if he was really tall
or if it's just a matter or perception
here! What do Y'all think?"

"Hope all of you have a wonderful
warm weekend ahead!"

Sometimes it isn't that easy to distinguish between flying and reality. Is this how we percieve our own conscience?
Hay veces que no es tan fácil distinguir entre volar y la realidad. ¿Es así como percibimos nuestra propia consciencia?
What seems so obvious to us, may not be true at all. Life can be what it is not; or what we don't think it is.
Sometimes it´s just magical! My 50mm, that is :)

30 Days of Perception - Day 25
We spend a lot of our time looking at screens: computers, iPads, iPhones, TV ... how did all of that happen? Sometimes, it's really necessary to seek out a horizon by looking into the distance. We need to seek depth and a longer view to rest our eyes and mind.
From my home, there is no view, only buildings - so I feel the need to get out every day to look beyond the brick and concrete walls, to feel liberated and able to breathe in the openness.
Today, there are no bright colourful scenes to impress our eyes. But the subdued scenes like this allow us to listen to what's happening inside.
I caught tiny patches of blue sky and that opened my inner horizons as I let them swirl around inside of me.
Even when the horizons are hidden by mist and greyness, the sky can uplift our minds as we take in the wider view.

Gyantse, Tibet.
The Kumbum or great gomang ("many-doored") stupa at Gyantse is a three-dimensional mandala meant to portray the Buddhist cosmos. The Kumbum, like other mandalas, which are portrayed by a circle within a square, enables the devotee to take part in the Buddhist perception of the universe and can depict one's potential as they move through it. Mandalas are meant to aid an individual on the path to enlightenment. The Kumbum holds a vast number of images of deities throughout its structure with Vajradhara the cosmic Buddha, at the top.
"The lhakangs of the nine levels of the Kumbum, decreasing in number at each level, are structured according to the compendium of Sakya tantras called Drubtab Kantu. Thus each lhakang and each level creates a mandala, and the entire Kumbum represents a three-dimensional path to the Buddha's enlightenment in terms of increasingly subtle tantric mandalas."
What had been a throw away shot, caught my eye today and I thought...What if?
So, I twisted it 90 degrees, and boosted the shadows and color. Now it makes me think about a different perspective.

“To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.”
Dalai Lama

I took a Night Photography class sponsored by Desert Botanical Garden and taught by Ryan Parra - a photography professor at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I learned a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel that I had improved significantly by the end of the class. One big problem with classes like this is keeping other photographers out of the frame.

Geometry is universal across cultures and religions, across the globe, and even across the planets.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.

The folk say: Everything is about perception, the world is different for every eyes, every brain. Is it true?
I was asked by a hairdresser friend to take photos of her clients with dreadlocks..
She got the 7 women together, ages ranging from late sixties to early forties, and we set up a make shift studio out the back of her salon.
My first thoughts when I see or think of dreadlocks, is dirty, hippie, alternate lifestyle. You get my drift....well how wrong was I.
So yes they are a bit hippie but I'm a bit country so who am I to judge and yep they have an alternate lifestyle but alternate in the sense that they care for the planet and want to sustain and look after it as long as possible. The dirty part I got completely wrong. These woman really care about their looks and appearance and dirty they are not.
I was curious to find out, why? Why dreadlocks? What did they mean to them? and What made them decide to get them?
What I found out is that these dreadlocks give these woman confidence and made them believe they can be the person they want to be.
I found out they are extremely self-conscious not just about their looks but about their abilities but by having the dreads somehow gives them the confidence to believe in themselves.
I guess we are all the same and most of us internalize our insecurities where these women externalize it.
I also found out that they didn't want to be ordinary.
The session opened my eyes and made me realise that my perception of things isn't always right. I got to know these woman in the 6 hours we had together and I got to know a side of them that I hope I was able to get across with a photo. As much as the shoot was all about the hair, it turned into something far more complex.
*To get dreads like this a person would have to sit 12 hours in the hairdressers chair. I for one couldn't do it. Half an hour in the chair is 25 minutes too long.
