So many photos are dependent upon our moods to determine how they are presented to the world.
My moods today are probably a bit dark for vacation photos :-)
Is the glass half empty or half full?
Is a common expression, used rhetorically to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause for optimism (half full) or pessimism (half empty); or as a general litmus test to simply determine an individual's worldview. The purpose of the question is to demonstrate that the situation may be seen in different ways depending on one's point of view and that there may be opportunity in the situation as well as trouble.
Perception is unique to every individual and is simply one's interpretation of reality.
For this project I wanted to look at the human form from an abstract view, taking away any previous experience or relation to the human body I wanted to create this new physical form relating more to extra terrestrials and the idea of life beyond earth.
What would they look like ?
how would they move ?
Enjoy

"Se le porte della percezione fossero sgomberate, ogni cosa apparirebbe così com’è, infinita."
"If the doors of perception were evacuated, everything would appear as it is, infinite."
william blake
The human being may be no more real than is a cinematograph film. When the projected light is switched off all that remains is a blank screen. That which has been projected by light was a series of 'stills'. Such also is what is beng projected by 'life'. The more you consider the analogy the more perfect it seems to be: it could help us to understand. - Wei Wu Wei...
Darling, will you still love me?
This is the 5th installment of the "Perceptions" Series. Each image is a "manually edited" photograph, meaning all effects are done directly on a print by hand with painting and multi-media techniques.
This image considers beauty. Which side of her face are you drawn to? Which is more intriguing? What does she ask you as the viewer?
Perception goes beyond the obvious and what the eye can see.
Eventhough we mostly perceive the world through our senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste & touch - the mind and the heart are responsible for much further input analysis.
Sometimes we call it intuition or a "feeling of"....it is this which brings butterflies in our stomach when we are in love, but also this voice that insists on telling us to be cautious of a situation despite what apparent facts might be.
Should we be a little bit clear with ourselves, then we can most probably trust this voice/ emotion/feeling and dive into a situation with all our heart, despite the risks involved or simply deny to trust, eventhough our ears are being pet.
How many boats are displayed here?...four can be counted, but maybe there are as many more not caputred in the picture....
Always see beyond the horizon.....
...perception is endless and eternal.
Curiosity is taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake, and finding new subjects and topics fascinating. It is exploring and discovering. Curiosity, interest, novelty- seeking, and openness to experience represent an intrinsic desire for experience and knowledge. It is fulfilling to find an answer, have a new experience, or learn a new fact. This strength can carry someone beyond openness to new experiences into actions associated with personal growth. Curiosity has a developmental trajectory: curious children tend to become curious adults. Because curiosity can never be satisfied in the same way twice, it is fueled in both positive and negative ways. It may take the form of constantly asking questions, but not all questions are appropriate in all situations.

Macro Mondays: Ugliness - a personal viewpoint.
Ugliness is society's pressure to be a certain standard of beauty, causing people to see their own selves in a distorted manner.
"When we look at a rock, what we are seeing is not the rock, but the effect of the rock upon us."
~Bertrand Russell
I borrowed this quote from Vision-Revision's comment on a photo from last winter.
It seemed appropriate.
My husband calls it the Floaty Rock.
It isn't in perfect focus, but I like it anyway.
That weed reflection makes it feel absolutely strange.

Got it cheap from a used store, unfortunately it's a dud. Returned for a refund. Before it was returned, took some naked images of the mic to capture the mechanical art inside. :)
February 4, 2013. This sculpture is located on the main floor of the CISTI building (M-55) in Ottawa and is called Perceptions of Reality, and is by David Makow. I saw a nearly identical sculpture a few hours later in the lobby of M-50, so I wonder whether it isn't a set. The very large wall hanging behind the sculpture says "Defend the Earth", and now is an almost ironic twist in this building that is nearly empty of staff these days. As you may have guessed, today was another training day in Ottawa; so is tomorrow.
There is this story,
that once people knew,
that high speed is bad for you.
It says, that at the beginning of the
railway-era in the 19th century
some people were warning,
that the speed of a train
with at that time inconceivable 30km/h,
would definitely damage your body.
But people have forgotten this fact
and so they happily travel
with 900 km/h through the air,
whilst yawning themselves through
kingdom of boredom in 9000 meters
above ground.
Would they just know.
So speed is just a figure
and quite relative I guess.
It is how you perceive
which shakes life out of the sleeve.
So just imagine:
If you lie, after this “boring” flight
somewhere near the equator
in your beach chair facing east,
enjoying the seascape, a drink
and your holiday,
then just remember,
that you,
actually,
because of the earth-rotation,
are spinning with a speed of about 1600 km/h
through space,
on a big stone called earth,
which hurries with roughly 108 000 km/h
around the sun.
The sun again rotates around the center
of the milky way with whopping 900 000 km/h
so that it only takes about 240 million years
to travel once around.
This is then called a galactic year.
Our solar system is about 20 galactic years
old.
Quite young one could say, but also this
is relative.
A little bit giddy?
As said, all about perception it is.
So now just take another sip of your drink
and enjoy your time,
your moment,
...and your speed

"Linda Roschier’s paintings occupy the middle ground between the abstract and the figurative. She works intuitively, without planning or organizing too much ahead. Roschier is interested in the human mind and subconscious, of how looking and perception works in a dialogue. In her work, often deriving from nature and its phenomena, the viewer can feel a strong sense of recognition, without always being able to put it into words. The study of colours and their relationships are in the core of Roschier’s practice.
Linda Roschier (b. 1979, Vantaa) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki in 2020. Her solo exhibitions have been seen at Gallery Huuto, and Exhibition Laboratory Project Room in Helsinki, as well as at Gallery Vanha Kappalaisentalo in Porvoo. Roschier has also participated in group exhibitions, her works are represented in the collection of the Finnish Art Society, as well as in numerous private collections."
