Today I had the pleasure of running into my old friend Sue. Sue founded and directed The Troupe, Michigan Tech's improv group, for many years. In that role, she was an amazing mentor and friend. Now that she's retired, she (among other things) creates beautiful felted works of art -- including this one, which recently won the jury's first place award at the Great Lake Showcase. Its name is "Perceptions", and everything you see is felted wool.

Man, as we realize if we reflect for a moment, never perceives anything fully or comprehends anything completely. He can see, hear, touch, and taste; but how far he sees, how well he hears, what his touch tells him, and what he tastes depend upon the number and quality of his senses. - Carl Jung

Why? Because I'm kinda loving my black and white dark work.

On our double-decker tour bus, the street lights were right above our heads. This shows how close they came to whacking us. From this angle, the light looks like it's nearly as tall as the Empire State Building.
You create a set of predefined filters throughout your life. Every moment becomes subject to them. You will place each moment in one category or the other.
Your filters communicate to you the inherent value of an occurring moment. Whatever the value it has will affect your feelings about it. You will experience everything that happens in your life whether it’s career, relationships, finances or leisure in a particular way. This defined viewpoint is your perception.
Everyday this evaluation process will create the positive or negative perceptions you have. Does all of this mean you are an automated robot that only processes data? No.
With your perception comes the ability to make “free will” choices. Those choices then help to create your reality.
As I experimented with different camera settings, this flock of Dunlin unexpected took flight, repositioning themselves along the beach. The combination of a high shutter speed and a high ISO resulted a photograph that looked as if it was created with a different medium.
