I enjoyed taking Friday off. The best part was paddling Grave Creek in the shady afternoon. There is something about that sweet golden light, filtered through the tree top leaves. It calms me to my core.
altared perceptions
it was just a table
its only claim to fame - it had been around awhile
seen a few things
been a few places
watched in a wistful wooden way
as
generations ate played and maybe loved a little
cottage pie
monopoly
adultery
and all the jigsaw stations in between
life waxing lyrical
on waxed pine boards
strait-laced victorians
wartime letter writers
joss sticks and swinging sixties
all tolerated celebrated and remembered
then
the day came
as such days must
when it was no longer required
legs a little shaky
complexion not what it was
small ads had no takers
so
on a sunny sunday afternoon
with saw and sledgehammer
it held its last service
a communion of noise and shadows
Tactile perception(collection)
A moment fragile as a furtive image between two cultures, for French, one squeezes(tightens) idiot, it is two things, is it is a moron, or other things....
un instant fragile comme une image furtive entre deux cultures , pour les français , un serre con , c'est deux choses ,soit c'est un abruti ,soit d'autres choses...
I've been sitting on this image for a while. Doing some different studio-situated work and exploring something more personal than before.
This is one of the latest nonsensical catch-phrases being taught by repeatedly invoking it as fact in the new "woke" world being forced on Society.
Sometimes the phrase is quoted as “Perception is their reality”, which is closer to the truth, but it still doesn’t make someone’s perception necessarily the truth.
This phrase “Perception is reality” was used most recently on Survivor where a group of young women decided they were ‘uncomfortable’ with one of the guys who was touching them ‘inappropriately’. It was used repeatedly in the discussion at Tribal Council, where one very “woke” man said regardless of how the touching was intended, no matter how incidental, if the woman perceived it as inappropriate, then it was inappropriate because “perception is reality” and “her perception is her truth”.
Then they voted her off the island.. Why? Was it because the truth is, no one could afford to take the chance that she might turn her "perception" against them next and ruin them in real life? Or maybe because *their* perception was that she might use her status as a helpless victim to make herself invincible in the game.
“HER perception is HER truth”. Which is another way of saying we can't contradict her. It's also a way of saying each of us gets to decide what is and isn’t real (to us..), what is and isn’t inappropriate, what is and isn’t fair. We get to decide what is and isn’t the color blue, who did and didn’t break the law, and what is and isn’t “Constitutional”.
Which would explain why Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff et al continually claim Donald Trump is a lawless tyrant, who must be brought down by any means necessary! It's their perception and must be respected as one version of the truth. After all, there is no absolute truth. There is only the truth that we perceive. And that, my friends, is the definition of chaos.
They are living in their own reality, where whatever they perceive to be the truth, IS the truth. Well.. THEIR truth, anyway..
We have a name for people who live in their own reality. And we don’t allow them to buy guns, work in nuclear power plants, or join the military, the police or fire departments. But they seem to do very well in the fields of journalism, teaching, and politics!
When Brent resided his shop, he only did the two sides facing the highway. Even out here, perception is everything.
It was bright sunlight. The light was falling on this compound. I got attracted by the beauty of light. The I took it. B&W got me thrilled.
Sketchnote of a talk by Chris Atherton (@finiteattention) at GOTO Zurich in April 2013. Chris covered a whole range of cognitive science theories and gave a load of great examples to illustrate the talk.
War mentality cleaves the world into noble allies and despicable enemies; justifies any measures necessary to prevail, including violence to innocent bystanders; and disdains accommodation, compromise, or any questioning of authority until total victory is achieved.
In essence, war mentality suspends normal human compassion and intelligence.

Me and James went driving looking for a decent location to take some photos. We found this place in Bricket Wood with really great natural lighting. Also, my Flickr Pro has expired, if anyone would like to get it for me, I'll send you loads of free prints!
I made several photos of reflections in this interesting modern window in a newly built structure in the business park it stands within. The lamp posts and stained hardwood fence panels outside in the carpark created interesting patterns in the wavy glass. Each time I focused and clicked the shutter a different pattern of distorted images and shapes came out in the glass. Some were quite remarkable. One was even startling.
It is interesting to note that the structure is built upon the boundary of an anglo-Saxon burial ground, which is upon a Bronze age fortified settlement, which is built upon a neolithic monument that was part of a larger ceremonial landscape that encompassed an area from Springfield to Little Baddow and Boreham. The area they were built upon is rich in large gravel, flint nodules, and fossil rock. History reaching back over 30,000 years. One theory based upon extensive research that has been done, investigating unusual natural phenomena or reports of "hauntings" is that the local geography and geology combine with historical events that occurred on the site to cause optivcal illusions under certain conditions. The theory is that the crystalline matrix of certain types of stone, rock, or mineral deposits in abundance is able to absorb and record a sort of imprint of an event or scene, particularly those associated with high levels of emotion or traumatic events. This leaves a sort of "place-memory" that stays there, somehow embedded within the place itself. You must, however view the recorded image being "played back" from a certain perspective in a certain light in specific atmospheric conditions or you will never be able to see it. Author and educator Tom Graves has an interesting take on it in his book "Needles of Stone" here www.isleofavalon.co.uk/GlastonburyArchive/ndlstone/06ghos... I have worked with photonics and holographic glass plates, so I understand this scientific principle. It works with glass and minerals, so why not with a larger amount of minerals in favorable conditions? I saw some unusual images in the window....but I will let you decide what you see. It is your own window of perception that counts.
Self-Explanatory. After my own childhood, and 26 years in the navy, I really hate drunks. This does not stop me from laughing at depictions of them, of course.
