It was bright sunlight. The light was falling on this compound. I got attracted by the beauty of light. The I took it. B&W got me thrilled.
Sketchnote of a talk by Chris Atherton (@finiteattention) at GOTO Zurich in April 2013. Chris covered a whole range of cognitive science theories and gave a load of great examples to illustrate the talk.
War mentality cleaves the world into noble allies and despicable enemies; justifies any measures necessary to prevail, including violence to innocent bystanders; and disdains accommodation, compromise, or any questioning of authority until total victory is achieved.
In essence, war mentality suspends normal human compassion and intelligence.
~ Bruce Alexander, Peaceful Measures
Me and James went driving looking for a decent location to take some photos. We found this place in Bricket Wood with really great natural lighting. Also, my Flickr Pro has expired, if anyone would like to get it for me, I'll send you loads of free prints!
I made several photos of reflections in this interesting modern window in a newly built structure in the business park it stands within. The lamp posts and stained hardwood fence panels outside in the carpark created interesting patterns in the wavy glass. Each time I focused and clicked the shutter a different pattern of distorted images and shapes came out in the glass. Some were quite remarkable. One was even startling.
It is interesting to note that the structure is built upon the boundary of an anglo-Saxon burial ground, which is upon a Bronze age fortified settlement, which is built upon a neolithic monument that was part of a larger ceremonial landscape that encompassed an area from Springfield to Little Baddow and Boreham. The area they were built upon is rich in large gravel, flint nodules, and fossil rock. History reaching back over 30,000 years. One theory based upon extensive research that has been done, investigating unusual natural phenomena or reports of "hauntings" is that the local geography and geology combine with historical events that occurred on the site to cause optivcal illusions under certain conditions. The theory is that the crystalline matrix of certain types of stone, rock, or mineral deposits in abundance is able to absorb and record a sort of imprint of an event or scene, particularly those associated with high levels of emotion or traumatic events. This leaves a sort of "place-memory" that stays there, somehow embedded within the place itself. You must, however view the recorded image being "played back" from a certain perspective in a certain light in specific atmospheric conditions or you will never be able to see it. Author and educator Tom Graves has an interesting take on it in his book "Needles of Stone" here www.isleofavalon.co.uk/GlastonburyArchive/ndlstone/06ghos... I have worked with photonics and holographic glass plates, so I understand this scientific principle. It works with glass and minerals, so why not with a larger amount of minerals in favorable conditions? I saw some unusual images in the window....but I will let you decide what you see. It is your own window of perception that counts.
Self-Explanatory. After my own childhood, and 26 years in the navy, I really hate drunks. This does not stop me from laughing at depictions of them, of course.

Midnight Sun: A natural phenomenon occurring in the summer months north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun never fully sets and remains visible 24 hours a day.
This short time lapse film was shot during the Icelandic Midnight Sun in June of 2011.
For 17 days I travelled solo around the entire island shooting almost 24 hours, sleeping in the car, and eating whenever I had the time. During my days shooting this film I shot 38,000 images, travelled some 2900 miles, and saw some of the most amazing, beautiful, and indescribable landscapes on the planet. Iceland is absolutely one of the most beautiful and unusual places you could ever imagine. Especially during the Midnight Sun when the quality of light hitting the landscape is very unusual, and very spectacular.
Iceland is a landscape photographers paradise and playground, and should be number 1 on every photographers must visit list. Iceland during the Midnight Sun is in sort of a permanent state of sunset. The sun never full sets and travels horizontally across the horizon throughout the night, as can be seen in the opening shot and at the :51 second mark in the video.
During the Arctic summer, sunset was at midnight and sunrise was at 3am. The Arctic summer sun provided 24 hours a day of light, with as much as 6 hours daily of "Golden light". Once the sun had set it wouldn't even get dark enough for the stars to come out, and they don't start to reappear until August.
My advice to everyone out there, photographer or not, is simple... You MUST visit Iceland sometime during your lifetime. You will never regret it.

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 :)

Uncle Rodney has carried Take-chan on his back as take-chan refuse to leave the place previously.. and as they walk further in they turn their head around at me. Just nice. haha
Have you ever thought that most of our perception about the robot is based on the Hollywood movie! The well-known 3CPO and R2D2 from Star Wars until the little cute garbage compacting robot named WALL-E; all of these machines are example of our dreams or should I say our quest to what we all think about the robot should be. Although the robot that we are going to build here is still far away from the technologies shown on those movies but at least it will give you an introductory to the robotics world. for more information please visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=983

Multimedia art duo Martin Mayer and Quirin Empl specialize in interior and exterior 3D video mapping - an art form that uses the architecture, shape and conditions of the room to project moving images, light or graphics on abstract surfaces, and thus creating an entirely new atmospheric space.
A studio shoot for a perceptual piece taken as part of a photographic assingment. The image was intended to portray the effects of advertising on the way we perceive and judge people through the use of stereotypes and models.
Photo from a recent trip to the Appalachian Mountains, in a new set called "Perception" inspired by photos from multiple other photographers.
This photo was taken in the FX terminal in front of SM Megamall. So many people were lining up, crowded in the pedestrian side, waiting for the FX to arrive. (naks, rhyming)
Seriously though, is the problem really overpopulation or just a blurry perception towards population?
A lot of people all over the world today would agree that overpopulation is indeed a hindrance to economic development in their country. This is manifested by the bills and laws that their country passed just to “control” population. Here in the Philippines, we have also our own story to share. Just recently, some of our legislators proposed a bill that aims to promote reproductive health, the House Bill 5043 or more popularly know as the “RH Bill”. The pressure to pass the bill is more pressing since the pro-bill people are claiming that this could be the solution to the widespread poverty that we are all experiencing. But then again, are we really overpopulated in the first place? Is our own populace hindering economic development in our country?
I guess the problem boils down to the misconception that everyone has towards population. People who proposed this bill seemed to tell us that there is no hope in our people. They just see them as burdens when in fact we should consider them as assets. In relation to my picture, they can say that we are overpopulated because the supply of FXs is not already enough for the people. Thus, we need to control it. Is this the way to look at things? Isn’t it that it will be proper and logically sound if we see it like this: “we need more FXs because we have a growing population”? They just cite the poor vendors and street children in the sidewalks to say that we are overpopulated and that poverty is widespread. But, they fail to see the working populace who keep our economy upfloat. They don’t appreciate the hardships that our OFW’s suffer to bring in dollar into our country. Is this the hindrance to economic development that they are talking about? I guess not. It is our labor force that fuels our economy, that keeps our economy alive, that brings progress in our country. In a country like ours where acquisition of capital is difficult, human resource is best asset and advantage that we have. We just have to develop this asset. We just need to invest on human capital and for sure, the returns that we will get will be of immense value. We just have to believe in our people and change our mindset regarding overpopulation. We are not overpopulated and our problems with poverty are not rooted in the number of people that we have: it is entrenched to our incapacitated and corrupt government.
Indeed, population is not a hindrance to economic development, as many people nowadays believe in. In fact, they are our assets that bring growth to our economy. We do not need the RH Bill. What we need is a change of mindset or way of thinking. It is precisely the failure to realize that our human resource is our greatest advantage hinders economic development.
