Another shot I managed to take in the village as we walked to make our way down to the Chambal River for our River Safari with the 500mm,capturing what to me was a real eye opener of the reality of Indias have nots.This young child caring for her sibling while standing barefoot in the street and but a child herself.
easy question: what is the reality that you see here?
the marionettes on the right, or their image reflected in the mirror?
or both?
or, maybe, none of them ?? actually this is just a picture, there aren't marionettes in front of you at all, just a screen... : )
so... what is reality and what is appearance?
this picture made me think about that. In my opinion reality is what we want to see (or to hear, or to feel). this means, we could get a different perspective of reality and see it in very different ways.
like the marionettes here: the reality itself did not change at all, we just realized that there can be other sides/perspectives of what we see (or hear or feel).
have you have ever had a discussion with someone because of different points of view? tipically in these discussiones both are convinced to "hold the reality",
to be on the right side.
if just one of the 2 persons involved would have considered that there can be "another" reality the discussion would have stopped immediatly :)
have a good day!
: )
In one week we leave to go house hunting. It will be January. It will be Ohio. It will be painful. I will not be here.
Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. - James 4:14
SMC Takumar 50mm 1.4
. . . A Snowy Owl hiding behind a small twig made me chuckle! In reality, this owl was just scratching it's chin on a rock.
I saw three owls today at the Muskegon Wastewater Facility, and met several photographers from Detroit and Big Rapids, all here to see them. Contrary to what has been reported, everyone was respectful of the birds, nobody threw rocks at them or got too close. If I would of witnessed anything like this, there would have been a confrontation!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

I strongly believe there was a "real" Santa that went around and helped the needy at Christmas and now it's all those who help the needy now (Toys for Tot's & etc.). BUT, Jesus IS the REAL reason for the Season.
(p.s. I will remove any ignorant comments made)
Does our bodies shape our minds? Is the modern world scaled to the average size person? Do right-handed people see things differently than left-handed people? As a photographer all my cameras are designed for right-handed people and that sucks.
Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, and dreams that turned into reality.
shot from Tupai island ( the Heart Island ) with Bora Bora at the background. Iles Sous Le Vent. French Polynesia.
And now, something completely different.
No, it is not an M38 Sherman tank scope, it is not to be mounted on a Sterling submachine gun. It is a slightly different M38A2 scope that was supposed to be mounted on a project raygun.
But it won't be.
What this does not fit on is a fictional Sci-Fi handgun, or a raygun, if you like, I have been working on (and off) for two years now. It's a completely handcrafted custom gun of my original design, it has an all-steel construction with walnut grips and electronics from Erv' of the Plecterlabs. Every bit of the gun is handmade, even some of the screws keeping it together, the only thing that isn't custom made is the sighting scope.
I wanted to use a real scope, partially as a nod to movie prop guns, but mostly to keep in touch with reality. I went for an old Weaver rifle scope because it's simple sleek tubular form (and cheap price, it cost only $14). The M38, which is all too familiar from the Stormtrooper blaster, is a gorgeous piece of vintage optics and I kept wondering if it would work despite the Star Wars connection. I kept an eye on those for about 18 months on eBay, and boy, were they expensive! Then I found this equivalent with fair price and thought, damn, I gotta try this.
I removed the Weaver and tried the M38A2 on instead. I immediately realized that it just doesn't work. Too heavy, too Star Wars, too obvious. So, it's back with the Weaver.
At the moment the raygun (visible in the background) has almost all the steel parts fitted in place, it still needs some serial and other numbers punched in before it can be polished, blued and worn to look like a hudred+ years old well oiled vintage handgun behind museum glass. Electronics will be fitted in last.
For the record: I do not own any guns or weapons of any kind, never have. This is just a raygun project, albeit a serious one in some levels. I will upload more photos with more info & detail as the project nears it's completion, but it'll be slow, I have too many projects going on. You know what it's like.
Slice of Reality is an art installation installed for the millennium celebration. It is located on the banks of the River Thames near the O2 stadium.

Media reports give the impression that there are too many walkers on the Tongariro Crossing for the track to cope. (130,000 per year) The images above show a worn part of the track next to original rocks. It appears to be not much of an issue.
Am I a prisoner of my desire to follow the light? Is my reality behind bars?

My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...
