I can never decide between black and white (my favorite) or color. Feedback please?
Reality is just a manner of perception
Hey guys! I'm really sorry I haven't uploaded lately. I've been really busy with school and all the other stuff. Anyway, this is inspired by Fringe (the BRILLIANT tv serie). I continue to be in experimenting phase and I'm loving it!
I'm going down to my Grandpa's house today for Easter and I'm procrastinating like always.
Happy holidays guys <3
Tel Aviv Promenade (known in Hebrew as the Tayelet) stretches along the Mediterranean seashore of Tel Aviv and it is one of the most attractive destinations in the city of Tel Aviv. Along the Tel Aviv Promenade (Tayelet) one can find an abundance of restaurants, cafés and bars, and the Promenade (Tayelet) itself is a wonderful tourist attraction which combines the beautiful seascape, an enjoyable breeze all year round and a lot of sunshine and sunsets.
The Tel Aviv Promenade (Tayelet) began with the Lahat Promenade- which was built in the 1970s and was named after Tel Aviv’s former Mayor, Shlomo Lahat- between the Dan Hotel and the Opera Tower. In recent years extensive renovation and development work has been done at the Tel Aviv Promenade, and today it stretches along 14 charming kilometers, from Tel Baruch to the north to "The Slope Park” ("Park HaMidron”) in Jaffa to the south.
In the late 1930s, the city council decided to build a promenade for separation between bathing areas and hiking or promenading paths. It extended from Bugrashov beach to where Geula beach is located nowadays. The introduction of the promenade was a turning point in common perception of the city's coastline.
At the same time, World War II started in September 1939, and the British Mandate Regime prohibited bathing in the beach. As a result of that, the city's beaches were abandoned and neglected. In addition, the developing new city was pouring its sewage to the sea and the beaches were banned for bathing for sanitary reasons. Seaside hotels and cafés were turning into questionable bars, gambling joints and brothels. The public abstained from the area, and the city's recreational centers were transferred to the city center, to streets such as Dizengoff Street. In 1942, London Square was founded in the northern part of the promenade. In 1953, Gan-haAtsmaut (Independence Garden) was founded on the gravel hill above Hilton beach. In 1965, at the time of the opening of the port of Ashdod, the ports of Tel Aviv and Jaffa were closed.
In the 1980s, the Dan District Sewage treatment facility was founded, and the sewage was transferred to the plant and not to the sea. That enabled the cleansing of the beaches and preparations to be made in order to open them again to the public for bathing. At that period, tombolo breakwaters were placed, causing significant expansion of the beaches allowing a greater number of attenders to enter. In the scope of the project, beach facilities were restored and reopened.
Currently, the city municipality is advancing a project to join the promenade sections into one continuous platform.

Perception Triumph 13. Caiac "SOT" ("eistedd arno"), yn hytrach na'r math eistedd ynddo. Mae wedi'i ddylunio efo gwaelod a blaen ar gyfer rhwyfo'n bell ac yn syth. Serch hynny, ma'n troi yn ddigon rhwydd. Yn y pen blaen, mae lle "sych" er mwyn cadw pethau rhag gwlychu (dan y caead hirgrwn llwyd), ac yn y cefn, mae lle (pant agored) i roi pethau eraill ar gyfer siwrnai. Oherwydd amgylchiadau (diogi) rwy'n defnyddio'r cefn ar gyfer cario troli, sy'n ffitio caiacs SOT, a heb hwnnw, ni fyddwn yn gallu symud y caiac ar dir sych. Mae'n pwyso 27Kg, ac yn lletchwith i'w godi a'i gario. Tydi'r Triumph ddim yn dod efo sêt (o leia doedd o ddim gan y cwmni "Shore")- rhaid prynu hwnnw ar-wahân, ac yn y llun mae sêt "uchel" gan wneuthurwr gwahanol, sy'n well ar gyfer fy nghefn i. Mae lle ar ochr chwith y caiac i ddal y rhwyf yn sownd - sy'n hynod o ddefnyddiol. Ar ganol y caiac, rhwng coesau'r rhwyfwr, mae "lle sych" ychwanegol, sy'n bosib ei gyrraedd wrth rwyfo. Mae'n ddigonol i ddal ffôn, chwiban, goriadau ac ambell i beth bach, ond mae'n rhy fach i ddal camera.
Rwy'n newydd i'r busnes caiacio, ac ar hyn o bryd mae pob siwrnai yn dal yn antur ac yn wefr. Serch hynny rwyf wedi defnyddio gwahanol fathau o gaiacs, ac mae hwn yn rhwydd iawn i'w rwyfo mewn cymhariaeth a sawl un eistedd arno, er nad wyf yn hyderus o gwbl i geisio ei droi'n chwim wrth wyro drosodd - rwy'n argyhoeddidig y byddai'n troi drosodd pe bawn yn ceisio gwneud y fath beth - techneg a fyddai'n rhwydd ac yn ail-natur mewn caiac 'eistedd ynddo'.
Y diweddaraf - rwyf bellach wedi bod allan nifer o weithiau mewn gwahanol dywydd. Mae'r Triumph yn ymateb yn wych wrth rwyfo i mewn i donnau - y tro i fyny yn y pen blaen yn gwneud ei waith yn rhagorol. Er cael fy ngwthio i'r ochr sawl gwaith wrth fynd yn groes i'r llif a'r tonnau, mae'r cwch wedi profi'n sefydlog iawn - ond mae'r tonnau yn torri drosodd yn syndod o rhwydd. O'r profiadau hynny, fyddwn i ddim yn mentro allan efo "bungs" yn y tyllau draenio tra ar y môr. Ar lyn efallai, ond nid ar y môr.

This is a UK made Perception Triumph 13 touring kayak. It's a "sit on top", rather than a "sit in", and is therefore a bit of a compromise. In front of the paddler, there's a dry bow void under the waterproof oval hatch which can be used for storing items not required while on the move, while behind the cockpit is an open "basin" for storing items that don't mind getting wet. Pictured is a SOT carrier axle which is a must for moving the boat on dry land. At around 27Kg the Triumph is much too heavy to lug around solo. The kayak didn't come with a seat, and the one pictured is a high back model from another manufacturer, which suits my back. Two handy touches are a groove along the left side for attaching the paddle (really handy when launching from a beach, or when taking a breather), and a small easy to access dry storage cylinder, which is useful for keys, phone, whistle and so forth, but too small for a camera.
I've only taken the kayak out five times, and apart from getting the beast on and off the car roof, the experience has been great. The boat goes well in a straight line, turns fairly easily, and cuts through swell. It's much less hassle than a "sit in", but doesn't manouvre half as easily. I just don't feel confident enough with it to try "edging" - the equivalent to "banking" on a motorbike, to help make tight turns.
I'd like to try the kayak with the optional rudder, to see if that would make it easier and less of a paddle-fest to counter the affect of strong sideways currents. But at £175 I doubt I'll bother..
Update
I've been out and about on the sea in slightly more challenging weather and I've noticed a couple of things. The boat really cuts into waves very well - the upturn of the bow doing an impressive job. A number of times have seen me pushed sideways by the waves/swell/tide, and I'm surprised at how easily waves enter the kayak "over the side" in these circumstances. Stability hasn't been a problem, but I'm pretty sure that running with bungs in place is would be a BAD IDEA on the sea. On a quiet lake - probably fine, but no way would I go out to sea with bungs in place.

The truth around "Parsely in the Morning" demonstrates the power of perception in photography and the danger of comparing yourself with bloggers and public figures. We're people, too - we just heavily edit!
Alternate Perception is a huge skate video I'm working on with Daniel Quiyu.
