This is actual a combination of images of two different streets in our town. I then did a black and white image and the original color image and layered them together to make this image. It kinds of reminds me of that show (Charlie Jade) but with a cheap car. Corel and Exposure 2 was used in each layer. I should also add that the shadow that looks like a huge spider was not planned...but i like it!
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.~William Hazlett

Paul Cézanne was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic inquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.
Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, color, tone, composition and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of color and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields, at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from observed nature. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.

A Distorted Perception
My monthly New Braunfels Photographic Society Club meeting is coming up on Monday and this month's theme is "Distorted." We could distort the image in camera using a variety of technical choices or distort in post-processing which is what I chose to do.
As most of you know, I've been working on overcoming my anxiety. I've been seeing my therapist and reading books. I've been using self-portraits as a way to be introspective and to push myself to grow. When I look in the mirror, I see a distorted perception, a reflection that isn't accurate. I pick apart faults... my nose is crooked, my upper lip is getting too thin, those wrinkles are more pronounced, look at all that gray hair, my face is too asymmetrical, just how many chins can one woman have?... it's shameful. I shame myself.
Shame is what keeps me in anxiety and misperception. I'm reading Dr. Brené Brown's I Thought It Was Just Me which is all about how shame keeps us from living an authentic life. I am changing this. I've been journaling. Someday I may will share my stories. I spent some time yesterday in front of my camera, alone, and made myself feel pretty. Some day I may will have the confidence to share some of those images. Until then, I will be kinder to myself.
If you live with anxiety, insecurity, perfectionism, or shame, read Dr. Brené Brown. You are worth it. Thanks for looking!
Betelnut girls (Bin Lang Xi Hsi) 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.

opera realizzata per il tema della settimana #12 del GSFP: Intersection.
Fino a qualche ora fa ero completamente all'oscuro di quella che sarebbe stata la mia fotografia per il tema di questa settimana. Questi giorni sono stati così pieni di sperimentazioni analogiche, di università e di Dan Margulis, che stasera mi sono ritrovato stanco e senza la voglia di creare dopo aver imparato tanto a livello tecnico: l'errore più comune!!
Quando provo attrezzatura nuova, o imparo tonnellate di roba poi finisco sempre per creare ciofeche...l'arte ha origine nell'inconscio, in un angolo remoto di noi che va al di là di ogni conoscenza teorica (certo aiutano, ma devono essere così ben assimilate da venire usate completamente in automatico, senza pensarci).
Così ho spento la luce e mi sono abbandonato all'ultimo cd di Yann Tiersen - Dust Lane... da consigliare vivamente a tutti!!
...è un puro viaggio nella spiritualità, nell'inconscio, nelle sensazioni pure, nella gioia più irrazionale e selvaggia..nei SOGNI...e questa foto rappresenta proprio questo stato d'animo, cioè l'intersezione tra mille pensieri diversi, tra mille sogni, ossessioni, prospettive, tra mille idee e progetti...un delirio accecante ma pieno di positività!

Casa Curutchet is the only house and one of the two buildings in the Americas constructed according to a project by Le Corbusier. The project was commissioned in 1948 by Dr. Pedro Curutchet, an Argentine surgeon who asked the architect to locate in a quite small urban plot both family house and working area taking advantage of the possibility of enjoying sunning and the views to a nearby square and park.
Le Corbusier never met Dr. Curutchet or either visited the site. He sent a set of plans in 1949 together with a list of local architects who could direct the works.
The project was organized in two separate blocks: working area and family house. Linking both areas, a ramp allows the "promenade architecturale" allowing a sequential perception of spaces. The living area opens to a terrace formed by the roof of the working sector, enjoying views to the next green spaces.
Practically all Le Corbusier's architectural principles were employed, such as the independent structure (pilotis), the free plan, the free façade, the dematerialization of facades trough glass panels, the brise-soleil and the garden terrace. In this sense, the building is a complete example of Le Corbusier architecture, in this case adapted to a tiny urban plot and to a determined urban location.

Facial Perception & Latino Identity Survey: Chance to win $20 gift card for participating in research.
Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.
--Miyamoto Musashi--
(You do not get to see that one)
Also, I got tagged for 16 things (Things you May or May Not Know) by the fablicious merrick_monroe.
01. I have not dyed my hair in six years. Nonetheless, I get asked what I use to get this colour regularly.
02. Without my glasses I can't sense depth, so I've got the basic coordination of a nine year old, since I've only been properly seeing distance and junk since I was an older teen. This means I can't catch stuff that super. I can, however, shoot pretty well.
03. The week around my birthday has been cursed for about four years. Last year was comparatively light, so let's hope it's getting better.
04. I am (part) Palestinian. I get asked if I'm Jewish/Israeli a lot—once by an Israeli exchange student, even. It is awkward.
05. Some friends of mine in middle school got a teachers' aide to give me a detention as an April Fools. I cried like a god-damn baby. Other than that, I was a model student, behaviour-wise, even when I almost failed high school.
06. I do not know how to drive. Nobody ever taught me. It is probably for the best that I don't. (see the second thing)
07. I am just barely this side of not enough of a jerk to get Foreigner and Dio lyrics tattooed on me.
08. I become incoherent with joy when I see things that dig and have tracks and vroom.
09. I taught Sunday School for seven years, from the age of eleven to eighteen. No, really, actually taught. I spend a huge chunk of my life as a Bible scholar and taking care of other people's children.
10. I have a fake tooth. Yes, I will take it out and show you if you ask. I love it. It makes me classy.
11. I made it to 15 before actually hearing rock and roll. It's been a heavenly spiral towards the devil music of heavy metal, dragons and hot babes in chain mail bikinis since.
12. I used to have insomnia and for years would lie in bed composing Mary Sue fanfic of the X-Men, with this ridiculous character who could manipulate light in particle and beam form. I never wrote any of it down, so it doesn't count. Right?
13. I grew up watching Star Wars, the Terminator films, Die Hard, anything with science fiction violence and shit-tonnes of musicals. I have a very skewed perception of what a good film is.
14. I cannot retain US English spellings, so several years ago I switched all my spell check programs to UK English, which for some reason makes slightly more sense. I may look like a total ass, but I hardly have misspellings now when I'm working without a spell check.
15. My dreams are like being on a film set. Sometimes I can see that the set pieces are old and taken from another "film", or that parts of scripts are being reused. This does not stop them from being vividly whack.
16. There was about a month when Chase and I were so poor we just ate Cream of Wheat (with little else). I can only just now eat it again.

One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
Testing out my new Dynamic Perception gear. This is the DP carbon fiber setup. Two 20's and two 40's to make up 60" of slide/rail. Cam on rig: Nikon D600 and a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 - And I love how the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX lens looks on a D810 - I took this photo with that setup.

At a university fair I found a mirror box made by an art student. The idea was to promote creativity by attracting kids who'd like to have selfies "like no other" :)) But as someone interested in the working of the mind I found it to be one of the best things at the fair. I've just couldn't resist taking a selfie in the mirror box, to show that right angles can make space distortions ... it's all about perception.

All of us see the world around from a different viewpoint based on our experiences. Many have seen this pic taken today, so far none have been able to discern the subject matter.
