The Sutro Highlands.
I hosted a small workshop last month on the western edge of San Francisco - along the cypress trees and paths that lead visitors above and among the Sutro Baths. The baths were built by the eponymous mayor of San Franciso, who owned the nearby Cliff House (visible in the last photograph of this post). The baths eventually closed and the buildings burnt during demolition, their ruins now part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area managed by the U.S. Park Service.
The three of us spent about two to three hours walking from the hills, through groves of Cypress, down to the ruins, taking photographs and chatting. Some part of us was shocked that such a monumental structure would be allowed to simply rot here on what seems like valuable property. Perhaps another entrepreneur would have put something here had not the area been taken over by the NPS. In the end, the tranquility of the area overwhelmed us all and we stopped wondering why and focused on using these ruins to frame some beautiful photographs. Contrasting anthropic and natural textures within the frame is a simple and effective recipe for a good photograph and Sutro provides no shortage of opportunities.
This simple frame makes it look as though this image were taken at the end of the world, the last frayed finger of civilization turning to sand before the drumbeat of the waves. It's a quick study in how to compose to alter perception. Turn the camera a few degrees and you see the light pollution from and the buildings of a massive urban center, but, framed correctly, the illusion of isolation and desolation is complete, the end of the sidewalk crumbling in the foreground and the vast, empty and cold, blue sea beyond.
A few minutes earlier and the light was equally beautiful, but much more dramatic. There is a simplicity to making photographs after blue hour has set in, a simplicity I love. It lacks the thrill and pace of trying to immortalize a stunning but fragile sunset, but has all the serenity one can handle. The trick is to wait for the "right" part of blue hour, to wait when the Earth's shadow is deep enough to let through only the foreward scattered, shorter wavelengths of deep blue and violet. Here is an image from the same staircase before the sun had set.
We all learned (and I continue to learn) how quickly sea spray accumulates on the front element. I wished I had brought some glass cleaner and a few wipes with me, as my T-shirt was beginning to prove inadequate towards the end of the night. The wind was whipping chill and water and salt from the tips of the waves onto the glass of my 14mm faster than I could clean it off. Making these images became an exercise in compose, clean, cover and wait. I would get things set, clean the lens quickly, cover it with the lens cap and wait until the waves looked to be just right before quickly removing the cap and exposing before big drops of sea spray had ruined the frame. Here you can see the iconic bows of the Monterey Cypress along the highlands above the baths. The edges of the cliffs are bramble, radiant with small, yellow flowers and the sky in the background is shrouded in fog whipped like cream from California-current-cooled winds.
A few steps down the path and you get a wonderful view of the Marin headlands on the horizon and the setting sun. The two figures on the right, enjoying a peaceful moment together at the western edge of America, make this photograph for me.
An image of the Seal Rocks in the very last moments of twilight, a 3+ minute exposure. One of the things we spoke about during the workshop was how to remove everything you can that distracts from the frame. When you can't remove anything at all, you're done.
Finally, a view from the north of the Sutro Bath ruins - you can see Cliff House above. There is a fisherman down there on the edge of the baths and another photographer walking around somewhere in the frame.
Perception is existence. Reality would cease to exist if we were to suddenly stop perceiving. Perception is all encompassing, wrapping its mighty hands over reality.
Perception is everything
Whether we agree with it or not, it is. How you portray yourself is the way people will perceive you and the way you treat yourself is how people will treat you. If you never show people you have a brain, they’ll always treat you as if you’ve lost your mind. However, their opinion of you is never the final auth...ority, your self-worth can’t be validated by others, you are worthy because you say you are. Fools seek approval in things that have no authority but the wise understand every person passing judgement isn’t a judge. You will never be able to control everything spoken about you but you are responsible for the things you give people to speak on. Yes your character defines you but your reputation precedes you and if you don’t care enough to protect it, in one way or another you’ll always be neglected. Secure people are comfortable being hated for who they are; the insecure seek love trying to be something they’re not. And at this point in life if the social you is only doing things in hopes to fit in, the real you will always end up being left out.

Is the glass half empty or half full?
In life, it's how we see things that determine how we tackle situations and life, in general. Seeing the glass half full (optimism), helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising. Seeing the glass half empty (pessimism) saps our energy, focus and motivation to do the right things in life.
You have the power to choose.
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."

www.knme.org - KNME focuses on the work of the older artist, how his perception grows with age and how his work changes.
The piece features the work of several well known New Mexicans painters, Frederick Hammersley and Wilson Hurley, architect, George Pearl, and sculptors, Charles Mattox and Florence Pierce.
Hammersley and Hurley both speak of an enlightenment that comes with age and a yearning to continuously improve one's work.
Mattox discusses an inevitable wisdom that comes with age; it is this side to growing older as an artist that he says enhances his perception of the world and his creative response to it.
Pierce, meanwhile is a woman in love with her art. She speaks of having a dual mentality from which to derive inspiration, the side of her that has remained naive, excited and passionate, and the side of her that has changed with life experience.
George Pearl talks about the different routes his work has taken over time; he is striving always for a better product.
