"Was zur Hölle....!?" dachte ich, als ich den alten TV-Rahmen während eines Fotoshootings der etwas anderen Art erblickte. Meine Ideen explodierten und selbst die kleinsten Synapsen in den letzten Ecken meines Kopfes tanzten vor Freude. :D

View On Black

chain-link fence reflection after a rain

I look around me. What I usually see in front of me

generally seems reasonable.

Realistic.

And I get used to seeing everything as it is and accepting it.

My personal filters don’t alert me

that what I see is not true.

A trick.

An optical illusion.

And I keep seeing a distorted, manipulated reality

as something real. As something right.

And how can I know if what I’m seeing is true?

Maybe just change a bit

my point of view?

 

Réalité déformée

Je regarde autour de moi. Ce que je vois habituellement devant moi

semble généralement raisonnable.

Réaliste.

Et je m’habitue à tout voir tel que c’est et à l’accepter.

Mes filtres personnels ne m’alertent pas

que ce que je vois n’est pas vrai.

Un tour.

Une illusion d’optique.

Et je continue à voir une réalité déformée et dirigée

comme quelque chose de réel. Comme quelque chose de juste.

Et comment puis-je savoir si ce que je vois est vrai ?

Peut-être changer un peu

mon angle de vue ?

The best thing with dreams is that they don't leave any space for the crappily constructed illusion of reality.

I know that many North American car enthousiast think that Germany is the walhalla of fast driving, but above you'll see reality. Baustelle after Baustelle with speed restrictions. On my way back to Holland from the Black Forest I had the pleasure of a 30 kilometer traffic jam, but okay, it was Friday rushhour. The picture above is taken between Bingen and Karlsruhe, en route to Baden-Baden. And who can say that the Peugeot 308 CC is a pretty car?

What is seen is not the Truth

What is cannot be said

Trust comes not without seeing

Nor understanding without words

The wise comprehends with knowledge

To the ignorant it is but a wonder

Some worship the formless God

Some worship His various forms

In what way He is beyond these attributes

Only the Knower knows

That music cannot be written

How can then be the notes

Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion

 

Kabir. Illusion and Reality.

Dream or Reality

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

That day, when I saw this giant planet right in front of me, I had a huge feeling of emptiness inside me. In the face of this sight, a feeling of loneliness began to grow inside me. While discovering giant planets suitable for life in the depths of endless space, I was also discovering my own loneliness. In time, I realize that while searching for life forms on these giant planets suitable for life, I am also trying to find myself. Maybe I'm a space traveler on a journey to the depths of space to find my lost life. This is a journey to space, which is very difficult to return, maybe to find myself again and come back to life. I don't know. I can't understand why my past life has been keeping me so busy lately. Maybe it is against human nature to be alone for such a long time. I stop thinking about my past memories as the giant gas planet with rings soars through the sky. I'm starting to dream. This is the dream of a new life. I dream of a new life for myself. Thus, I thought I could suppress the emotions that were interfering with my scientific research. This worked for a while. My dreams were comforting and satisfying. I was able to experience the emotions that I can only experience on planet earth, on these other planets with the dreams I had. I was now able to experience all the emotions that I felt worn out and missing. However, the dreams I had had started to hurt me more after a while. I didn't even notice the passing time. I was so caught up in my fantasy world that I could no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy. I was dreaming so realistically that when I came back to reality, I was incredibly unhappy and hopeless. For a long time, daydreaming allowed me to continue my explorations in space. But now the situation has changed a lot. My dream world that I had created caused me a great lost time. I started daydreaming in front of this giant gas planet landscape. And that would come back to me as huge emotional pain. Would I solve my problems by making new dreams? Or would I get rid of all my problems by facing the truth? Over time, I began to ask myself more and more questions. And I couldn't find an answer to any of my questions. I was nearing the end of a situation I couldn't get out of. I don't know what awaits me there. I think I could hold out for a while longer. Maybe it's time for me to explore a new planet.

Tomorrow is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day! Yay. You know I'll be out there with one pinhole camera or another.... or several.

 

Anyway, a passing shot I made while wandering the Reed College campus a while back. I really love how the upper pinhole on the Reality So Subtle 6x6 can distort perspective just so. I daresay I like using this camera's upper pinhole more than I like using the centered pinhole.

I finally got around to both taking a shot and processing it in time for the Dailyshoot challenge

 

Todays assignment was "Make a photograph of the front of a building today. Could be your house, the bank, or city hall. "

 

Of course me being me I had to do a twist on it and got this shot of a part of a front of one of the buildings in the Tudor City part of Manhattan reflected in the mirror of a motorbike

 

Thanks Steve for the gentle reminders each day about the dailyshoot challenge

The growing sense of the ineffable that reaches and curves toward the light of an ultimate reality can never be transplanted into the shallowness of mere reflection. Torn out of its medium, it is usually metamorphosed like a rose pressed between the pages of a book. When reduced to terms and definitions, it is little more than a desiccated remnant of a once living reality.

-Man Is Not Alone: A Philosophy of Religion by Abraham Joshua Heschel

back to reality... the here and now!!!

 

i am standing in muddy waters in the middle of my street after yesterday's daytime downpour of our rainy season. most rainfalls happen during the night, so I could not show you how each north-south running street in Ajijic becomes a river running down from the mountains into the lake.

 

no, we are not flooded here, this is totally normal, it’s how our lake refills itself every year after the 9 month dry spell and why our curbs are so high in this village -

 

and it only takes like half an hour until one can cross these streets again...... unless you have rubber booties like me (((:

 

but yes, there were times when leaving a restaurant after some elegant evening dining, we had to step right into this muddy water.... with our elegant sandals and shoes, to walk home or get our cars! (((: (a true story!!)
