ATC has a playing card as a background. Melted beeswax is used to attach and cover scraps of paper napkin and an image cut from Delft wrapping paper. The perception is nostalia.
Pareidolia is the perception of a recognisable image or meaningful pattern where none exists or is intended. In this example a hidden face is found in a single hole punch.
This was a pleasant discovery when I found the face. I like the wonky eyes and the grin.

One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
It's always a matter of perception. Everything is.
When you see "Born to die", do you think it's being negative or fatalist because of the word "die" ?
For me, it's only truth: we're going to die, all of us, that's a fact. And accepting that fact helps understand how important it is to live life while you can, while you're alive. So as negative as the sentence may seem at first, it makes me very very happy.
Perception. :) (annnd a new tattoo on my arm as a reminder of that!)

Auditory hallucinations are the perception of sound without outside stimulus. Auditory hallucinations can be divided into two categories: elementary and complex. Elementary hallucinations are the perception of sounds such as hissing, whistling, an extended tone, and more. In many cases, tinnitus is an elementary auditory hallucination. However, some people who experience certain types of tinnitus, especially pulsatile tinnitus, are actually hearing the blood rushing through vessels near the ear. Because the auditory stimulus is present in this situation, it does not qualify as a hallucination.
Complex hallucinations are those of voices, music, or other sounds which may or may not be clear, may be familiar or completely unfamiliar, and friendly or aggressive, among other possibilities. Hallucinations of one or more talking voices are particularly associated with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and hold special significance in diagnosing these conditions. However, many people not suffering from diagnosable mental illness may sometimes hear voices as well. One important example to consider when forming a differential diagnosis for a patient with paracusia is lateral temporal lobe epilepsy. Despite the tendency to associate hearing voices, or otherwise hallucinating, and psychosis with schizophrenia or other psychiatric illnesses, it is crucial to take into consideration that even if a person does exhibit psychotic features, they do not necessarily suffer from a psychiatric disorder on its own. Disorders such as Wilson's disease, various endocrine diseases, numerous metabolic disturbances, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosis, porphyria, sarcoidosis, and many others can present with psychosis.
Musical hallucinations are also relatively common in terms of complex auditory hallucinations and may be the result of a wide range of causes ranging from hearing-loss (such as in musical ear syndrome, the auditory version of Charles Bonnet syndrome), lateral temporal lobe epilepsy, arteriovenous malformation, stroke, lesion, abscess, or tumor.
The Hearing Voices Movement is a support and advocacy group for people who hallucinate voices, but do not otherwise show signs of mental illness or impairment.
High caffeine consumption has been linked to an increase in the likelihood of experiencing auditory hallucinations. A study conducted by the La Trobe University School of Psychological Sciences revealed that as few as five cups of coffee a day could trigger the phenomenon.
Command hallucinations
Command hallucinations are hallucinations in the form of commands; they can be auditory or inside of the persons mind and / or consciousness. The contents of the hallucinations can range from the innocuous to commands to cause harm to the self or others. Command hallucinations are often associated with schizophrenia. People experiencing command hallucinations may or may not comply with the hallucinated commands, depending on circumstances. Compliance is more common for non-violent commands.
Command hallucinations are sometimes used in defense of a crime, often homicides. It is essentially a voice one hears and it tells them what to do. "Sometimes they are quite benign directives such as "Stand up." or "Shut the door." Whether it is a command for something simple or something that is a threat, it is still considered a "command hallucination." Some helpful questions that can assist one in figuring out if they may be suffering from this includes: "What are the voices telling you to do?","When did your voices first start telling you to do things?, "Do you recognize the person who is telling you to harm yourself (others)?", "Do you think you can resist doing what the voices are telling you to do?".

"The Alabama Jubilee Hot-Air Balloon Classic is the oldest hot-air balloon race in the mid-South, started in Decatur, Alabama in 1978.
The sport of Hot-Air Ballooning had come to Decatur only a few years prior to the fact that the City of Decatur had decided to purchase a hot-air balloon but now needed pilots to fly it. So the salesman of the balloon cut a deal that he would train three pilots to fly the city's new balloon.
A few years later the sport of ballooning had hit Decatur hard and there were several well known pilots living in the area. Craving competition and the festival atmosphere provided at other ballon rallies 17 balloonists from Alabama,Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana got together with a handful of other volunteers and started the Alabama Jubilee
Initially Jubilee also served as a showcase for the new Decatur balloon, one of the first hot air balloons to represent a city, and an event to kick off Alabama's tourism season. These days Jubilee draws about 60 pilots from 20 states for two days of competition during the annual Memorial Day holiday weekend and serves not only as a showcase for the City of Decatur but as a must-attend community event that draws visitors for all over the country.
The continued popularity of the Alabama Jubilee prompted the Alabama Legislature to designate the City of Decatur as the “Ballooning Capital of Alabama.” The Jubilee has also been named a Top 20 Tourism Event in the Southeast for May by the Atlanta-based Southeast Tourism Society."

Jerry Kang: Immaculate perception?
Jerry Kang is a Professor of Law and Asian American Studies at UCLA. His work examines the legal implications of socio-cognitive implicit bias, or unintentional racism. Our ability to judge whether we are racist may not even be obvious to us if we look deeply at ourselves. Kang disseminates the work of other cognitive neuroscientists who study implicit bias and stereotype threat, and he extrapolates the implications of this work in a legal setting. He has received the highest honor for his teaching at UCLA, the University Distinguished Teaching Award in 2010.

I've gotta say. I'm in a strange, strange mood today.. I've been so busy, I'm starting to notice it's effecting my pictures. Tomorrow I have people coming to visit 'till Thursday, which I then leave at 6am in the morning to drive 15 hours, and then sleep in a random hotel and drive a few more hours to get to Connecticut Friday morning. I'll get to stay by the beach (yay!) and then head to Boston for a few days on Sunday. It should be a good weekend, but my mind is just overflowing with all I have to get done. On a side note; while I'm in Boston I'll be hanging out with an awesome photographer friend and we're gonna collab! Can't wait!

Promotional Book | Type Promotional Book for Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk
The basis of this project was to choose a typeface and design a poster, promotion book, type promotion book, and website to showcase and promote the chosen typeface. I chose the Copy Family: Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk from the T26 Digital Type Foundtry.
Concept_Subject of Study:
Copy Semi Grotesk, the typeface designed by Thomas Mettendorf, is a mix between a slab serif, serif, and monotype typeface categories. Copy Semi Grotesk is a typeface that stands on its own, in a unique category between the slab serif, serif, and monotype; in short, Copy Semi Grotesk represents a sense of duality which is how it relates to the subject of subliminal perception. Subliminal perception occurs when you are not consciously aware of receiving information, or learning, yet the information is still stored in your mind; it reaches the individual on a subconscious level but affects one on a conscious level, thereby adding to that layer of duality. Since Copy Cut, with its angular cuts, is about breaking away from the ordinary shapes and basic design, so too is the concept of this book: to break through the meaning of these subliminal messages and realizing the underlying true content.

The Journey into the maximum aperture...
A prime lens, a maximum aperture of F1.2...the 85mm f1.2L mark 1 is truly a remarkable lens. I had a chance to borrow this lens from a friend and was astonished by its depth of field, clarity and colors.
This is my journey into the world of maximum aperture. All shots are taken from f2 to f1.2 mostly at f1.2 with iso50.
Thanks for viewing.
Perception does not always equal reality. At first glance, the reality of this image is unseen. You have to look deeper to understand it is a muddy reflection in a puddle. I have always been fascinated with this idea of tricking the mind. The way we perceive something is not always the way it is... in art, and in life.
