"In a 2001 study published by Nature, Frank S. Werblin, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California at Berkeley, and doctoral student Boton Roska, M.D., showed that the optic nerve carries ten to twelve output channels, each of which carries only minimal information about a given scene.”
“Although we have the illusion of receiving high-resolution images from our eyes, what the optic nerve actually sends to the brain is just outlines and clues about points of interest in our visual field. We then essentially hallucinate the world from the cortical memories that interpret a series of extremely low resolution movies that arrive in parallel channels." Then there's this.

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these”

HBW everyone!
i thought i was being sneaky....on the sly....pointed and shot all around this amazing character, trying to catch him unaware....but in the end
You see a lot of these purpose-built keyboards at the Flea. You know...keyboards that make a lot more sense to you if you could see the isobaric therapy chamber that they were designed to be plugged into.
It's a standard XT/AT keyboard, with a membrane surface and an 8-way cursor cluster. My guess is CAD/CAM or some sort of controller for a CNC rig.

Perception Sport - our current choice for kayaks. Light (only 35 lbs) and two of them fit on top of my Mini.
Funny how life's perceptions change, 6 month's ago when I took this shot it was just another pretty tree among many. Today as I gaze out at another gloomy February day, it is a splash of beauty that shocked my senses as I browsed through past pictures trying to stir my emotions.
It shows me how quickly things can change in our lives. From joy to despair in an instant. Changes are inevitable, but you don't have to like them.

Laure Prouvost ( ° Croix, 1978 ) is a French artist who works with video art, installations and also paints. In her work Prouvost investigates the existing connections between language, image and perception. Language, in the broadest sense of the word, plays an important role in her work and she sees it as a tool for the imagination. The octopus appears as the symbol of these shifting and polymorphous exchanges. "The octopus represents the animal and physical connection that we have lost. We are different protagonists in this world and the tentacles connect us, blend our personalities and our different cultures."

This work can be admired in De Panne, on the beach at the Leopold I Esplanade.

Laure Prouvost ( ° Croix, 1978 ) is een Franse kunstenares die werkt met videokunst, installaties en ook schildert. In haar werkt onderzoekt Prouvost de bestaande verbindingen tussen taal, beeld en perceptie. Taal, in de ruimste betekenis van het woord, speelt een belangrijke rol in haar werk en beschouwt ze als instrument voor de verbeelding. De octopus verschijnt als het symbool van deze verschuivende en polymorfe uitwisselingen. “De octopus vertegenwoordigt de dierlijke en fysieke verbinding die we verloren zijn. Wij zijn verschillende protagonisten in deze wereld en de tentakels verbinden ons met elkaar, vermengen onze persoonlijkheden en onze verschillende culturen.”

Look at the details: it's the front of a VW van. Look at the thumbnail to the right: it's the back of a Lada Niva. Gotcha! :-P
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

Artist & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary founder, Cyrus Mejia's show Pits & Perception opened in Los Angeles @ Artology 101 in Glendale. There were several live pit bulls in attendance at the festivities.
From cyrusmejia.com/art/pits-and-perception
"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

Continuing with my fascination to click the objects which surround us but miss our atention - I found this old rusted door along the walls of my house. It has been locked for as long as people remember!
Like the title says there are so many thigs which are white, so many which are black and then comes the grey stuff - our perception. So how do you percieve this door - as a rusted peace of garbage or as something which has an old world charm about it?
Title: A quote by Aldous Huxley (English Novelist and Critic, 1894-1963). And yes, I hadn't heard his name till I came across this quote and haven't read any of his works.
Don’t you love watching movies in 3D? Enhancing the illusion of depth perception can really take your experience up a notch! Well, this quirky one is named “Friese” after one of the pioneers of the technology behind 3D movie magic, William Friese Greene. The original acrylic painting is on 5″×7″ watercolor paper.

William L. Fox's research concerns perception and landscape and the transformative power of human cognition. His current topic is the Anthropocene, a new epoch of geological time determined by ecological transformation of the planet due to human actions. Fox's talk will trace the development of earth systems science form Alexander von Humboldt to Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen, who proposed the Anthropocene, and examine the synergy between artists - including Timothy C. Ely's work, currently featured in a large exhibition at the Northwest Museum of Arts and culture - and scientists, as they study, represent, and seek to modify the environment.
As I saw the land around Marrakech from the plane as we flew in last week, I thought 'ooh, that looks dry.' Yesterday as we left I thought 'wow, so green.' Heh.
Like everyone I have 'tourist' photos.. :)
Cool peacock fashion statue thing outside Tangs in Singapore last year.
The worlds tallest freestanding structure on land, the CN Tower
is one of the most visited landmarks in North America.
In the midst of downtown urban Toronto, you may stumble upon this remarkable peninsula.
The Leslie St. Spit stretches out 5 km into Lake Ontario, near downtown. This is a car-free park, that is one of the city’s most unique jewels. With walking, running, and cycling trails, stunning cityscape views of the C.N. Tower, and surrounding skyscrapers, Toronto Harbour and some vegetation and wildlife, rare to find anywhere else in Canada. The Spit was originally intended to be a breakwater for harbour expansion, started 40 years ago. If you are visiting the city and looking for something interesting or living in the city and need some of nature’s R&R, give the Leslie St. Spit a tour. You will not be disappointed.
For more info visit Friends of the Spit
We visited this park on an extremely wet and moody day in the city. We watched a thunderstorm descend upon Toronto from the peninsula, completely engulfing the CN Tower and then we watched it aim for us with it’s evil stormy laser sight and drench us from head to toe, not once, but twice. A friendly shuttle driver picked us up on the way back, and I could have kissed him I was so wet and miserable. Hope you enjoy these soggy pictures.

It has been a not so pleasurable week. My 76 year old Father had to have a "procedure" (why don't they call it surgery anymore?) He is fine now, thanks. And then a Canadian cold front came in and froze everything. It even seemed to freeze time in my perception (maybe that was Dad's fault though). But all of this brings up a very important point, we need to toughen up our borders! If any little ol' cold front can sneak in from Canada, well, the border control just is not stringent enough ;-)
