"Our hearts are wild creatures, that's why our ribs are cages."
-Unknown
Oh goodness, I wish you could see this one in person, the depth didn't translate back into photo very well! Whitney is a dancer and the grace I hoped to capture seemed effortless for her!
Growing up, the sighting of a butterfly was magical. They were so delicate, free, and always sought out beauty (in the form of flowers). It seemed perfect to have a butterfly represent a heart then. The roses and wings are emerging from a rib cage that has been cut out of the canvas.

This is My Brother, although this image is a self portrait
this is how I saw him...
No confusion between man and machine.....
frozen in time as a strong reflection of my perception of others.
strong character,
strong heart.
Enjoy!

Part of a series of shots on time and its perception
Man waiting for the train at the station reading the newspaper.
His solitary waiting suggests a slow perception of time, a moment of 'isolation' in which everything flows more slowly.
Indeed, time expands almost to a stop in the longer expectations.
In contrast with this, the moving train: symbol of becoming, a perception of motion and 'sliding'.
Framed within it, other commuters waiting or moving frantically between the tracks, recalling also images of 'waiting/slow - motion/fast' passage of time.
Their synthesis invokes the theory of relativity (Einstein)
I tried to show the different degrees of perception of time, moving from the idea of time as an abstract concept, dependent on our subjective perception and emotion.

Name: Perception
Real Name: Unknown
Status: Villain
Powers and Abilities: Sometimes people see exactly what they want to see, or what they expect to see. Perception’s powers make use of this, making everybody within a 50 yard radius see him exactly how their brain expects. He is also an expert at voice manipulation, quick wardrobe change, and acting.
Main Weakness: Because of his power, people may see him as someone they’re angry at or a really close friend, both of which get uncomfortable. Also, his power only works at a quick glance, so when people look at his face for a long time they notice that something’s off.
Bio: Perception grew up in an orphanage, and never knew his parents, nor his real name, and because of his powers, the everyone there mistook him for someone else. Eventually, feeling lonely and invisible, he ran away. Throughout his teen years he grew a better understanding of his powers, and used them to his advantage. However, he suffered an identity crisis when entering adulthood, and decided upon a specific look for himself that he would focus on whenever he came upon his own reflection, so as not to lose his mind. After this, he tried having a normal life, one with friends and a job, but none of that worked out due to his “curse,” as he calls it. So in order to get money to support himself, he resorted to a life of crime, working mainly as a thief. He now lives comfortably, yet alone, and continues to thieve, both for the resources, and for the excitement it brings to his otherwise lonely life.
Day 350. 12/06/2011
We,humans like to have perceptions about things- people, countries, cultures, etc.
We perceive things from what we hear from others, who has probably heard it from somebody else.
The perception about Islamic women is one such example. Westerners think those females are caged and nothing more. Fortunately, thats not the truth.
Just because she covers herself, doesn't mean she's oppressed. Islam has given men and women equal rights.
Please dont generalise, and please dont have false perceptions about things you dont know about.

Day 350! Expected some flowers on my stream? Or something happy go lucky? Sorry to disappoint you guys then:p.
Depending on where we stand, the view of the world is blurred to some degree. Change your position change your view.
Found these dead leaves lined up and the sun shining on them. It looked really beautiful even though they were dead.

If you'd rather see the camera it's here

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” - Dorothea Lange
As stated in the quote above, photography has taught me to see, where my way of seeing the world is kind of split into two parts: one "eye" perceives the world as a whole, where the other one is my photographic eye which thinks in motifs and pictures. These two perceptions are not the same (at least for me) since beautiful things don’t necessarily look beautiful in a picture because there are so many factors which can make a picture less attractive. Conversely, you can use so many techniques like changing the overall composition, the depth of field, the dynamic range, the colors etc. to make a picture interesting.
So this is a first attempt to this idea, where I just quickly made a close-up of my eyes. Since the weather wasn't really good I was too lazy to go outside and thus I placed my camera at the windowsill and took a picture with my macro using a remote control. Hope you like it!
I’m often asked about the world that insects can see when people enjoy my UV fluorescence images, often confusing two very different things: UV reflectance and UV fluorescence. This post will hopefully demystify that, with a simple Shasta Daisy!
On the left, we see the visible-light image of the flower. Pretty ordinary! It’s really just here for reference to the images in the center and right. The central image is UV reflectance, and the right image is UV fluorescence. You can see why I do a lot more UV fluorescence work!
UV Reflectance is the direct observation of ultraviolet light. This requires some tricky hardware, you need:
- A camera modified for full spectrum photography (shot with a converted Lumix GX85)
- A bright source of UV light
- A lens that has very good ultraviolet transmission properties
- A VERY good “UV Black” filter that allows for the transmission of ultraviolet light but zero visible or infrared light.
In contrast, for Ultraviolet fluorescence photography, you need:
- A pure ultraviolet light source
UV Reflectance can reveal hidden patterns in flowers that insects are able to perceive along with visible light. They don’t see UV light exclusively, but their vision extends into this spectrum and some flowers take advantage of that. Daisies do not. Sunflowers, on the other hand? Solidly yellow petals to our eyes will reveal a dark bullseye pattern in the ultraviolet spectrum: donkom.ca/bts/DKP_9769-UV.jpg . Marsh Marigolds have a slightly more complex pattern ( www.flickr.com/photos/donkom/34783610615/ , which also shows visible and infrared versions). Not all flowers use this technique of reflecting back UV light to guide insects towards them, and while it is fun to explore the patterns it doesn’t have the same drama and colour as UV fluorescence.
Directly observing UV light is difficult, but UV fluorescence is a much easier subject to tackle. You use your regular camera to collect regular light, albeit in a darkened room. You just need a good pure UV light source that doesn't leak into the visible spectrum which would contaminate the results. When ultraviolet light hits the flower, some of that light excites electrons in the atoms of the flower. Those electrons rise to a higher orbit but very quickly decay back down, and in the process of doing so release energy in the form of… visible light! UV light goes in, visible light in much smaller quantities come out. You camera captures this visible light.
This is “unnatural” in the sense that there is no way to observe this in nature – the sun clearly emits visible and infrared light in far more abundance than ultraviolet light. UV fluorescence is not what insects can see, it’s what no living thing could see without the aid of the inventions of mankind. It’s “real”, but also hidden from reality. And on the other side, there is something elegant about the mostly-black flower that we know to be white to our own perceptions. The world beyond our own reality is worth exploring.
Can you tell I’m going through my shot list for my upcoming book?? This kind of information will be found within the pages of Macro Photography: The Universe at Our Feet, currently being funded on Kickstarter - www.kickstarter.com/projects/donkom/ - it would be great to have your support for the project and also get a copy when it’s out in December!
…. Oh hey, you’re still here? You actually wanted to know MORE about UV reflectance? Sure, here we go.
The lenses with the cheapest cost and best transmission properties can be found on eBay from the seller “igoriginal”: www.ebay.com/itm//273878542781 .
The filters included with that lens are decent, but if you want the very best at cancelling out visible AND infrared light, you need a two filter combo from maxmax.com:
XNite 330C: www.maxmax.com/shopper/product/15065-xnite33052c-x-nite-3...
XNite BP1: h www.maxmax.com/shopper/product/15072-xnitebp152-x-nite-ba...
Those links are for 52mm filters, which would fit on the above-mentioned lens. You’d still need a camera converted to full-spectrum photography, and one of the biggest outfits for that is LifePixel: www.lifepixel.com/?ar=3
Down the rabbit hole you go. :)
Which quote has more significance to this image?
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
-Florence & The Machine
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
Limitations of perception are everywhere ... Sometimes they arise, sometimes-no! I saw the full picture in this place, then the constraint of THIS system was forced to flash it like that! Soon it will be all! Influence the observation!

I decided to try editing this image with paint.
This is the start of a possible series that will explore manual photo editing. Please do not mistake this for a full painting. It's goal is to make the viewer question what it is and what it is not.

We perceive the world as we see it. Our perception is based on what we see and what we want to see.
The reality is, if you imagine positive, you’ll end up in having a positive image of your surroundings.
Sunsets have always been part of my inspiration, it always attracts my attention, that brings me close to the nature.
