"Reflections of Reality" obviously refers to the fact that photography cannot capture the true nature of something; at best, it can only provide a reflection of it. I hope that you'll enjoy some of the reflections I have presented here.
An illustration for an article for Usbek & Rica about how celebrity is so devalued nowadays; the advent of reality TV has made normal families into superstars. It also featured a section discussing Lady Gaga’s use of twitter and youtube in her rise to stardom.
Tested the Fooocus AI platform. Here's what I got.
On the left: a ‘live’ (real) model, on the right - its generated copy
Cause I can't face the evening straight
And you can't offer me escape
Houses live and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, believe, believe, believe...

DREAMS
This life you live, you know what it means,
It's a shabby journey
Made stable by dreams.
For they are the fuel that stops life stalling
Forget the present and start recalling
Don't doubt, dreams are the key
To underlying reality.
Pleasure dreamt
Beats pleasure spent
Reality is the curse
That keeps our dreams apart.
Dreams are the dark energy
That no one else can see,
The invisible force
That keeps our lives on course
As dark energy binds the universe.
Everything makes sense inside a frame right? But what about outside of it? What happens outside our constructed perception?
You see, reality my friend, is such a misunderstood concept...
As we exit from the freedom of Slab City, we are warned that We are entering a world of reality. We also see a note that Nat has Herpes, so I suggest you all avoid Nat.
So here it is 40! Glad to get here. This is my life message. I feel Lucky and privileged to be 40. I've seen in the news and witnessed first hand those that have not. Life's dangerous and difficult. Stick with it. Dig in. Be safe. There's bad days I get it, there's mean people there's dreams that don't always become reality but there's also a lot of good and great stuff. Enjoy the little good things in life. The hug from a loved one the last cookie! When you look back there will be a lot of great things too it's just perspective as you get older you didn't see it when you were younger. Love all my friends and family. For those that believe God bless. For others best wishes going forward.
The only reality is you. You are the dream and the dreamer.

Du musst das Ziel verstehen.
Die Wiedervereinigung mit deiner eigentlichen geistigen Größe.
Du verlierst nichts, du gewinnst nur hinzu. Ob du Illusionen behalten und weiter in ihnen leben willst, ist deine Entscheidung. Aus Sicht deiner eigentlichen geistigen Größe verlierst du keine Zeit.
Du erfährst, alles hat seine Zeit, auch das Wiedererwachen deines ursprünglichen Seins. Mit jedem Augenblick gehst du "ihm" entgegen, und "er" kommt auf dich zu.

As a nature photographer, I spend all my effort trying to capture the beauty of nature's creatures and landscapes. However, you can't spend much time outdoors without seeing the realities of what humans are doing to destroy our planet. Whether it be an island of floating plastic or a few small pieces of trash in a field or creek, we are surrounded by the effects of our humanity. This year I started capturing additional subjects while out photographing nature. I wanted to add a dose of reality to my catalog. My plans are to add these images in smaller frames, amongst my larger landscape and nature photography at shows. #plastic #trash #nature via 500px ift.tt/2ATnH70
You're a refraction of the one light. You're a waveform of light. You're a fractal, a pattern that continuously changes.
--Frederick Lenz
This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.
I was employee number six of Altamira group, the creators of Genuine Fractals scaling technology and the second employee of Niksoftware. That goes back to the time when dirt was discovered. Why I bring this up is my complete and utter fascination with the concept that everything in the universe is a fractal, no two fractals are the same but in the same exact place after a series of random numbers is The Thumbprint of God. A perfect mathematical fractal, such as the famous Mandelbrot set— this self-similarity goes infinitely deep: each pattern made up of smaller copies of itself and those smaller copies made up of smaller copies again, forever.
What does the above have to do with this image you ask? There is the whole totality of the car, then there are the smaller parts of the self similarity of the car that are part of the whole and yet completely different. That thought just fascinates me. So if you wonder why you see a lot a parts of the micro and macro world of reality. Now you know.
I shot this with the135mm f 1.8 S “Plena” Nikkor lens. 1/250 of a second ISO 125. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.

Distortion, deformation, contortion, misshaping, squinching, warping, bending, compromising the truth - what truth? What is real, which reality do you believe in?
On the return from our walk the sky began to glow. The clouds and colours were beautiful.

Le reflet d’un instant de réalité, sans trucage. A moment of true reality, without editing.
“For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities - a willing movement of a man's soul with the larger sweep of the world's forces - a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.” - George Eliot
A famous Cambridge landmark, Reality Checkpoint is supposed to have got its name during the 60's when students in an 'elevated mental state' would have to traipse home back over Parker Piece after a night out in town - arriving at the tangible Reality Checkpoint in the fog was presumably some reassurance in the middle of the empty and mysterious Parkers PIece.
The lamppost is regularly scrawled with its adopted name, and I have seen engraved brass name plates stuck on there too (the Council seems to take exception to any such supposed abuse, and quickly removes student daubings or other pranksters attempts to name this shrine).
in the branches of the massive tree that fell over.
things can be lovely and tragic at the same time.
lyd didn't quite get the focus of my camera, but i really like the eerie feeling. it's as if the tree is overpowering, and that's what you should really see.
enjoy~
Truth will flourish in fantasy, only to wither and die in what you are pleased to call reality.
