While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.

Perception is a first-person narrative horror adventure featuring a young, blind woman who depends on her razor-sharp hearing to solve an ancient mystery and survive the forces that pursue her.

The boys are observing something straight on a side, other the policeman is viewing (may be the lady over the opposite side of the road) on the opposite direction... but both are stepping ahead of their destination...
And yeah, It's a Rainy day... :)

Gedankenexperiment:
What if from another Point of View Everything is stillstanding - just on another Point of the Timeline? Perhaps Time and Space are one and the same..?

Week 30
Pretty crazy that there is only 22 weeks left! Glad today was over, it was a rough one. I'm trying plan the next couple of weeks in advance for once.

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!

We hold these perceptions to be self evident, that not all that fly are created equal......

The TV image looked small and lost within the model - This is an experiment I did to see if it's possible to create an illusion and make the image look larger, and connected with it's surrounding. The text block in both images are identical in size and content. This result led to the red peripheral border hovering around the outside of the image window.
The bloody ivory damask underbust corset features 18 steel bones encased within a beautiful 14-panel silk damask shell, hand-flossed with gold thread. The corset also features a historically spaced split-front busk, "rabbit ear" lacing, floating modesty panel, and silver grommets and aglets. And blood, lots of blood!

CALIT2 3-D Caves in Atkinson
Although they sound like something out of science fiction, these caves are a virtual-reality environment that allow you to venture into worlds as small as nanoparticles and as big as the cosmos?permitting scientists new insights that could fuel discoveries in many fields. The CAVEs are five-sided virtual reality (VR) rooms where scientific models and animations are projected in super high definition stereo on 360-degree screens surrounding you, and onto the floor as well. Thanks to the rooms? unique shape and special screens that allow you to use 3D polarizing glasses, you can fly over a strand of DNA and look in front, behind and below you, or navigate through the superstructure of a building to detect where damage from an earthquake may have occurred. The Explore Earth Cave immerses you in a walk through the redwoods or a visit to the Luxor in Egypt. Adding to the virtual reality in the CAVEs is the surround sound system, which harnesses recent advances in wave field synthesis?a way to maximize the perception of many channels of sound coming from different sides of the room.

The StarCAVE consists of five walls with three screens each, plus floor projection. Two JVC HD2K projectors generate a stereo image for each screen, plus four projectors for the floor, totalling 34 projectors. Every projector pair is driven by a Dell XPS computer running under CentOS Linux version 6, with dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards and a 10 Gigabit NIC. We use an additional XPS machine as the head node to control the rendering cluster, for a total of 18 nodes. For

Yesterday I saw a very faint shadow of the lampshade on the wall in the study. It was cast by diffuse sunlight coming through the north facing window. Paradoxical thoughts about perception and representation haunted my mind for the rest of the day.
What was I looking at? A lampshade ... a shadow ... the wall with all its scratches and smudge marks ... the join in the paper ... or a representation of a lampshade?
Representation
In order to 're-present' something there has to be an intention, in a human mind, to make a representation. For example, a painter would decide to take a brush, oils and a canvas to make the physical, palpable representation that would be referred to as 'the painting'. However, what I saw on the wall was not created through any human intention ... it just occurred by chance. There was no palpable, tangible object on the wall that I could detect with the sense of touch. So no intention had made it and I couldn't touch it ... so what I saw on the wall can't then be a representation.
Palpability test
But there was something there ... I could see it ... I photographed it. I had an intention to make a representation of what I saw so that I could share with you my dilemma of paradoxes. I used a device called a digital camera ... it reduced what I had seen to an invisible string of codes stored electronically inside the device. I used another device called a computer to tweak those codes so that what I had originally seen would be somewhat exaggerated and more likely to appeal to the aesthetic sensibilities of other humans living in this generation. As I looked at my digital representation on the computer screen I was underwhelmed ... it had none of the presence of the thing I saw. It was a representation of the thing I saw and displayed remotely on a computer it lacked palpability ... it was 'in my face' but it wasn't really 'there'. So I made a print on exhibition paper and it started to come to life and had some presence. I even put on it pencil marks to represent the label, ‘Graham’, that my late parents had given me all those years ago.
Print becomes code
Having made the print and stroked my hands on it and held it I considered its impact under different intensities and qualities of daylight. But now I have diminished its impact again by using a scanner to re-present that palpable thing as a digital image to be shared on Flickr and Facebook.
Why do I do this?
I'm still none the wiser about whether to define it as "a lampshade ... a shadow ... the wall with all its scratches and smudge marks ... the join in the paper ... or a representation of a lampshade" but I do now think I know why I went through that rigmarole. One of the intrinsic rewards I get from my photography is the satisfaction of curiosity and the enjoyment of playing of an intellectualised aesthetic game. I also realise now that I'm quite a show-off and so one of the extrinsic rewards for me would be the approbation of others.
An alternative hypothesis emerges
Which leaves me thinking what would others be seeing, my representations or "the thing itself"?
Is "the thing itself" a lampshade / shadow, a digital image of a lampshade / shadow or a print of a digital image of a lampshade / shadow?
Or is "the thing itself" not the thing photographed nor its representation but actually the spectator sport of someone playing an intellectualised aesthetic game?
