"Cracked Perception" - 19/31

Are you afraid sometimes, that what you see might not be "reality"? Is there one reality after all? 'Cause we all see/feel/hear/smell the world with our unique senses.

 

This was a spontaneous experiment, but I like it.

Also I wanted to take a close up of my eye a long time ago, so here it is. What's your interpretation?

 

"Où s'achève la réalité et où débute donc l'imaginaire? A cela personne ne le sait réellement, car rien n'est absolu, tout n'est que pure... perception!"

Cit. Muriel M. Photography

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.” – Aldous Huxley

 

Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow.

Luigi Pirandello

Betelnut girls (Binlang Xi Shi/檳榔西施) are a unique part of Taiwan culture. They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It’s a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate – certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell. For more info, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betel_nut_beauty and follow the links to the video and pictures.

 

It clouds the mind.

for Poetography theme - choose your own word - PERCEPTION

A night out light painting with Erwin, but even before we started we had to go to one of the few dry locations because of course it started to rain. Still a lot of fun, so I created this multiple lens cap exposure with my custom built camera rotation tool.

Originally was just playing around with light then the photo took a bit of a creative post-process. Anything to distract me from my dissertation ofc.

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

I just loved how this glass bottled looked when I shot it. Really wanted to take all of the color out so the glass stood out more. I've never been happy with any of my black and white conversions in Photoshop, it's more me than PS for sure. I ended up downloading Silver Efex Pro 2, 15 day free trial to see if I like it. This shot is from that and 3 or 4 adjustment layers in PS.

 

Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

A few weeks ago I posted The Doors of Perception. I thought it was a good result overall but I wasn't entirely satisfied with it.

 

This is a shot from another angle and a bit darker. I wanted to emphasize the rays of light breaking through the pilings to better visualize the famous quote from Aldous Huxley:

 

''If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."
