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!

"Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg."
Hans Christian Anderson
This is our local swan. Her and her partner have been using this nest, just a few minutes walk from my parents' house, for years. They have been the victims of vandals destroying the nest, yobs stealing or breaking their eggs and the Cob has required medical treatment after swallowing an abandoned fishing hook and line. Yet they come back year after year, laying their eggs and producing ugly yet beautiful young, which, if they avoid the mink and pike, grow into majestic and serene adults. Truly inspirational.
It's amazing - the perceptions we have about people, simply because we were conditioned to think a certain way by our elders.
Growing up, we were bombarded with linking motorcyclist with negative emotions - the road bandits or the motocross yobbos terrorising the streets in small villages, seemingly living their lives outside the law.
Movies and television shows would have us think they are extremely violent characters, hellbent on hurting anyone who dares cross their path; often snatching purses and knocking down pedestrians whilst they zoom off, laughing into the distance.
There is no doubt that such people do exist, the kind of violent and abhorrent bikers that care not for building relationships, society or neighbourly love but for robbing, stabbing and generally causing as much mayhem as they can muster; Thankfully, however, they are a but a tiny minority of motorcyclists - they are the ones that give bikers a bad name.
In our experience (so far), it is safe to say that over 90% of the bikers we have encountered have been nothing but kind, gentle, caring human beings - quick to rally around each other when one is down or in need of help - a wonderful array of different backgrounds, all sharing their lives in peace and harmony because of their shared love of enjoying the freedom of riding the long road ahead.
We have been blessed to meet such wonderful people, they have become close friends, extended families and even built relationships together. We shared joy and sorrow together, we laughed and cried together - we have been separated and brought back together; always picking up wherever we left off as if we had never been apart.
We take great pride in introducing to you the 'Hidden Faces behind the visor, the hidden faces you miss because of the helmet - the wonderful and undoubtedly the most misunderstood of road users you have never seen.
Take a moment to look into their eyes, admire their smiles and imagine their stories - these are the people that know what it is to feel joy on every time they hit the road - how many car drivers can say the same?
Thought it would look good to make a cross out of Easter eggs, I thought it kind of shows the evolution of the story about Jesus to what people associate Easter with now; chocolate eggs :)

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.

And yeah, It's a Rainy day... :)
A Rainy Song for all of You!
I took advantage of the fact that it was raining in my office... I created a conceptual art piece called Perception Precipitation, consisting of paper towels, a leaking roof, the random pattern of rain on the paper and the sound of the water hitting said paper.
This piece, though simple looking, is fraught with meaning, commenting of the random interactions of the world outside of the workplace and how it lands on the desks of minions making their lives miserable, on how Nature overcomes Man's best efforts to order his world, and on how mutability (represented by water) inserts itself randomly on the orderly lives below (represented by the careful grid of paper towels) punishing them and affecting them randomly, changing them, and slowly destroying and wearing away their carefully pressed facades that they use to face the world and hide their inner selves.
Bids for this installation start at $400,000 (Daddy needs to pay fer a brand new house!).

With a faster Sense, how different would the World look for us?
Gedankenexperiment:
What if from another Point of View Everything is stillstanding - just on another Point of the Timeline? Perhaps Time and Space are one and the same..?
The Ventilator on the Left is exaktly the same as on the Right (same Speed), but it´s taken with Flash and the sekond One is without...
This is one of the latest nonsensical catch-phrases being taught by repeatedly invoking it as fact in the new "woke" world being forced on Society.
Sometimes the phrase is quoted as “Perception is their reality”, which is closer to the truth, but it still doesn’t make someone’s perception necessarily the truth.
This phrase “Perception is reality” was used most recently on Survivor where a group of young women decided they were ‘uncomfortable’ with one of the guys who was touching them ‘inappropriately’. It was used repeatedly in the discussion at Tribal Council, where one very “woke” man said regardless of how the touching was intended, no matter how incidental, if the woman perceived it as inappropriate, then it was inappropriate because “perception is reality” and “her perception is her truth”.
Then they voted her off the island.. Why? Was it because the truth is, no one could afford to take the chance that she might turn her "perception" against them next and ruin them in real life? Or maybe because *their* perception was that she might use her status as a helpless victim to make herself invincible in the game.
“HER perception is HER truth”. Which is another way of saying we can't contradict her. It's also a way of saying each of us gets to decide what is and isn’t real (to us..), what is and isn’t inappropriate, what is and isn’t fair. We get to decide what is and isn’t the color blue, who did and didn’t break the law, and what is and isn’t “Constitutional”.
Which would explain why Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff et al continually claim Donald Trump is a lawless tyrant, who must be brought down by any means necessary! It's their perception and must be respected as one version of the truth. After all, there is no absolute truth. There is only the truth that we perceive. And that, my friends, is the definition of chaos.
They are living in their own reality, where whatever they perceive to be the truth, IS the truth. Well.. THEIR truth, anyway..
We have a name for people who live in their own reality. And we don’t allow them to buy guns, work in nuclear power plants, or join the military, the police or fire departments. But they seem to do very well in the fields of journalism, teaching, and politics!
