“Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. Such is the salutation to the dawn.” - Sanskrit Proverb

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is - infinite”

Its always about the view

 

One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).

Christa :)

 

Haven't done anything too artistic in a while, thought I would have some fun with it :) The photo layered on top is mine also.

woo hoo! The month is over!

 

This piece of art was installed at the front window of the Monte Clark Gallery in Granville Street. It's a collage of Strathcona's "favourite" little orange pinto. Flickr is partly responsible for making a mini-celebrity of this little orange pinto and it is almost serendipitous that it should be made into a work of art by local artist cameraman.

No right answer or winning move, Nueve is designed solely to artfully amuse and entertain. Unlike a traditional puzzle or game with only one solution or outcome, Nueve offers countless beginnings and endings. Nueve’s set of handcrafted wooden cubes can be assembled in any combination to create billions of different patterns (68,719,476,736 possible combinations). There is no right answer or winning move. Nueve is designed solely to liberate your perception, challenge your creativity and delight your soul.

 

Nueve is made of hardwood and silk-screened in red, the nine cubes are held in a black MDF tray. Each cube is 1 3/8” square, comfortable for both kids and adults. Handsomely presented in a gift box (6 x 6”), Nueve will be appreciated by the curious and creatively spirited. Introduced to the USA by Noted, Nueve is designed by newartifacts, a group of artists, designers and entrepreneurs from Uruguay, South America, who envision integrating art into daily life and transforming life into art.

  

The fact that this sign has been ignorantly put up upside down has been deeply annoying me for at least 25 years now.

 

Yes, it really does matter which way you put up a sign with a single "S" on it, since in typography, this letter is designed to have a smaller top and a broader base in order to appear more balanced than in a completely symmetrical version.

Of course, putting the sign upside down makes the letter appear completely top-heavy and thus even more unnatural.

 

Just to prove the point, look at the "S" on your keyboard right now. Except for keyboards manufactured by Fujitsu-Siemens, it should also have been annoyingly printed upside down, even on IBM keyboards!

some wake to discover

their species on the take

her problems, your problem

(just like mother used to make)

personal fiction is a cultural tradition

when we talk to ourselves for decades

and still never learn to listen

what stops the stranger self

from pushing to the surface?

we're all gods in our own minds most days

making differing opinions

out as blasphemy and curses

in the silent acceptance

of sheer perception

all we ever wanted

was life without direction

where all the things we do

like dreams, just kinda happen

tapping into artificial

emotional intelligence

asking: "why not live

the way most likely?"

the probable conclusion

the dice roll decision

the vision of what

predictably comes next

mechanical

assistance

in living

(at last)

Betelnut girls (Bin Lang Xi Hsi) are a unique part of Taiwan culture. They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It’s a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate – certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell. For more info, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betel_nut_beauty and follow the links to the video and pictures.
