This is actual a combination of images of two different streets in our town. I then did a black and white image and the original color image and layered them together to make this image. It kinds of reminds me of that show (Charlie Jade) but with a cheap car. Corel and Exposure 2 was used in each layer. I should also add that the shadow that looks like a huge spider was not planned...but i like it!
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.~William Hazlett

A Distorted Perception
My monthly New Braunfels Photographic Society Club meeting is coming up on Monday and this month's theme is "Distorted." We could distort the image in camera using a variety of technical choices or distort in post-processing which is what I chose to do.
As most of you know, I've been working on overcoming my anxiety. I've been seeing my therapist and reading books. I've been using self-portraits as a way to be introspective and to push myself to grow. When I look in the mirror, I see a distorted perception, a reflection that isn't accurate. I pick apart faults... my nose is crooked, my upper lip is getting too thin, those wrinkles are more pronounced, look at all that gray hair, my face is too asymmetrical, just how many chins can one woman have?... it's shameful. I shame myself.
Shame is what keeps me in anxiety and misperception. I'm reading Dr. Brené Brown's I Thought It Was Just Me which is all about how shame keeps us from living an authentic life. I am changing this. I've been journaling. Someday I may will share my stories. I spent some time yesterday in front of my camera, alone, and made myself feel pretty. Some day I may will have the confidence to share some of those images. Until then, I will be kinder to myself.
If you live with anxiety, insecurity, perfectionism, or shame, read Dr. Brené Brown. You are worth it. Thanks for looking!

Testing out my new Dynamic Perception gear. This is the DP carbon fiber setup. Two 20's and two 40's to make up 60" of slide/rail. Cam on rig: Nikon D600 and a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 - And I love how the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX lens looks on a D810 - I took this photo with that setup.

At a university fair I found a mirror box made by an art student. The idea was to promote creativity by attracting kids who'd like to have selfies "like no other" :)) But as someone interested in the working of the mind I found it to be one of the best things at the fair. I've just couldn't resist taking a selfie in the mirror box, to show that right angles can make space distortions ... it's all about perception.

Our perceptions of aesthetic value are determined by a host of factors which we typically fail to consider. This is apparent not only in the realm of art, but in every aspect of our everyday interactions with the world in which we live. We humans experience such a bombardment of sensory input throughout our day that we can’t help taking for granted the objects which make our lives more enjoyable. Often, our ability to properly appreciate the subtle beauty held within the seemingly mundane is restricted by the limitations placed upon our eyes. I would like you to consider as an example the humble strawberry. Enjoyed by many for its taste, as well as the connotations which it arouses (warm summer days in the garden), the strawberry is truly one of nature’s greatest gifts to the world. Considering this, it seemed only fair to me that people should be able to truly comprehend the hidden magnificence of this tragically underappreciated object. The fine details which comprise the strawberries beauty are, unfortunately, far too minute for the naked eye to decipher. We are fortunate to live in a time in history in which details of the world which our eyes would be otherwise incapable of seeing are now available thanks in part to technology. With the right equipment, a person can now transform the most humble of insects into terrifying aliens. For my alien, I utilized a digital camera with a macro bellow attached to a 50mm lens. I painstakingly photographed one hundred and twenty nine separate images of the slice of strawberry you see before you. Afterward, I pieced together each individual image in much the same way the one puts together a puzzle. In the end, I was left with a magnificently detailed image which a single photograph would never have been capable of creating.
