See catmadogma's "Dogwood and Raindrops". I hope you didn't mind, catmadogma, but I couldn't resist seeing what was in that raindrop. It's like another world.
Experiments in perception is a thesis project completed in Paul Sahre & Lindsay Ballant's portfolio class. It is a series of objects and situations that attempt to make others re-think the usual. It's over-arching goal was to test boundaries of logic, language, pre-conceived notions and social convention through the filter of design.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

Lights on! This was a test piece created by glassblower Kenny Galusha so that we could experiment with different textures, colors and features.

This photo was a test photo for the following: shooting this lens at or close to its 200 mm max focal length, at f/2.8, with no flash, at a pretty high ISO (2000), and with some overexposure so I could aim for less noise, and bring down the overexposure in post. I didn't get to overexpose it as much as I wanted because just this was @ only 1/15 of a second and even with IS that is crazy low. Anything more overexposed would've either warranted me raising the ISO which I didn't want to do yet, or an even lower shutter speed. Overall I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's definitely less sharp than photos taken with this lens and with flash/higher SS/lower ISO, but it's not awful. How am I going to learn if I don't try stuff? This photo wasn't even supposed to be a real photo…I wasn't going for composition or anything…but after some processing including the b&w conversion I kinda like it, or at least his eyes. I am not sure about how much his chin got cut off, but hey, it's an experiment!
2nd round / Fullspectrum Experiments:
More pictures! These are from the same last outing yesterday with the same camera, lens and filter setup. Here I applied „proper“ white balance (on the birches bark, simply) and look what I got. Again it's that almost velvia like green and high saturation over all. Actually this is what I found using UV-IR cut filters on this camera some time ago. I already experimentet with this - for some reason I need a diffusor, else I get some strange color artifacts on the edges. I don't know the physics really, but possibly it acts like an AA Filter? Anyway, this „film simulation“ is nice. When adding this Tiffen 812 like warming filter, blue gets subtle, too.

I've been experimenting with image transfering onto felt and silkscreen fabric. I used wintergreen oil on the silkscreen fabric and transfer marker on the felt. Then I sewed the pieces together on my sewing machine.
Oil on Canvas, Shanghai, 2019 (50cm x 70cm).
With this painting I wanted to experiment with form and colour. The shapes and layers present an overlapping view which naturally works well with the eye.
Here you can see I printed with red and yellow oil based inks. The red and yellow seemed to mix together to create orange.
A change in coloured ink can communicate a range of different emotion.

I said it was hot enough to fry an egg outside so Echo went straight out to the front yard with an egg and tinfoil. Man, his fingernails are DIRTY! He's been playing outside, doing projects and experiments...
