31/7/2011 - it feels like ages since i've taken any pictures with a real camera.
just returned recently from my 3 week trip of north america. feels great to be back.
i was very lucky to get the chance to test out a tilt shift lens, the Nikkor PC 28mm f/3.5 AI. this image was taken with this lens, shifted up.
will try my best to take more pictures these few days!

Nothing's ever right or wrong. It's merely a flow of thoughts: perception!
I'm never stimulated by the ideas, my art is the constant reflection of my perception. Sometimes Stimulated and sometime Virtual, but always its on my perception. May be depth is required to enable to quench the thirst.
There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors of perception

"Every perception of colour is an illusion... we do not see colours as they really are. In our perception they alter one another."
-Joseph Albers
For years, Jordan has been associated with its epic history and landscapes, from the hidden ruined city of Petra to the red-sand dunes and canyons of Wadi Rum.
It's a country with stunning history, but not really known for hiking - the Jordan Trail, a recently introduced epic 650km route stretching the entire length of the state from its north to the south, may however well change that perception.
Each hike must have its most popular and admired part, and for the Jordan Trail it comes two-thirds of the way through the route with the stage from the Dana Biosphere Reserve to the ancient city of Petra.
Starting in one of Jordan's most scenic nature reserves, it takes four days mostly on the little-trodden and unmarked paths to finally reach the country's most iconic sights at Petra, which one enters - contrary to the vast majority of visitors - backdoor and alone.

During the third day, we left Wadi Feid shortly before 5AM hiking in the eastern direction on the mostly dry rock riverbed.
The trail then continued along the escarpment line of the Jabal Safaha mountain ridge, offering stunning views of the deep valleys below us.
Having passed the Qutla ruins of a former settlement (no water source), we continued hiking in the southern direction, following now a slowly diminishing footpath.
Then, we entered an interesting sandstone landscape full of beautiful rock formations of different shapes and colours - the area here somehow reminded me of the Needles national park, Utah.
Then, we decided to make a shortcut to the Ammarin camp, our place of overnight stay - following a 4WD track to a ridge eastwards, we reached the pass realizing to our great relief that the shortcut is passable, despite quite steep descent requiring some minor scrambling.
We reached the secluded Ammarin camp shortly afterwards, and having much needed shower we enjoyed lazy laying on mattresses in the shade below a tall rock, sipping mint tea and taking a much needed rest.
I've always admired the Barbican, along with many of the "utopian" projects from the brutalist period. Unfortunately many people, led by Prince Charles seem to despise these buildings. It's very much a challenge of perception, and how we are often mislead. This is a series of two images which have simply been post processed differently, and shows you how easily the mind can be warped.

“How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.”
(Duane Michals)

Can you realy trust what you see?
Perception depends on complex functions of the nervous system, but subjectively seems mostly effortless because this processing happens outside conscious awareness
Perception (from the Latin perceptio, percipio) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. All perception involves signals in the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sense organs. For example, vision involves light striking the retina of the eye, smell is mediated by odor molecules, and hearing involves pressure waves. Perception is not the passive receipt of these signals, but is shaped by learning, memory, expectation, and attention.
Perception can be split into two processes. Firstly, processing sensory input, which transforms these low-level information to higher-level information (e.g., extracts shapes for object recognition). Secondly, processing which is connected with a person's concepts and expectations (knowledge) and selective mechanisms (attention) that influence perception.

One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
