This necklace has a story.
I purchased it when I was a little girl, and back then I thought it was THE prettiest necklace in THE WHOLE WORLD. Really. I thought the totally fake (metal) "stones" surrounding the blue heart were real diamonds and that the blue heart, instead of a cheap plastic novelty, was a real sapphire. I remember being in awe of the necklace when I first saw it.
I recently discovered it again, and, I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to see that it now looks like a cheap novelty to me, instead of the rare, expensive piece of jewelry I perceived it as when I was a little girl.
However, I think the story illustrates how our perceptions change over time, and that beauty really can be in the eye of the beholder. It's a little reminder to be accepting of others' perceptions: you may see the cheap novelty, but they may see the expensive jewelry, and neither perception is "wrong" or "right". Just different, and worth acknowledging, accepting, and trying to understand.
Maybe this necklace is just a cheap, childish novelty. But, to me, because of how it awed me as a little girl, it will always be a treasure.
I see the world more through a browser than any other interface, and second to most from any perspective. Because I use a Mac, perhaps my perception is not as the author intended,/a>.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution

it was nice watching every one talking pictures by trying to make some forced perception to supporting the pisa tower, kicking the tower and many many funny postures..
Series emulating the photographic style of Francesca Woodman to show how women are often perceived in society.

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?

Pale white knuckles become black and blue
Parallel to autumn leaves, I fall too
Teethmarks, not sharks, break the skin
Swallowing knives, watery eyes, I can’t win

Photo Title: 2-Side Perception

Photo Caption: There are two sides of perception: the clear and the dark. It depends on how people view things and on how they handle it. It is a decision to make whether to be blind and oblivious or to be clear and vivid. Whether to be strong or to be fragile in the midst of this pandemic crisis.
