ATC has a playing card as a background. Melted beeswax is used to attach and cover scraps of paper napkin and an image cut from Delft wrapping paper. The perception is nostalia.

It's always a matter of perception. Everything is.
When you see "Born to die", do you think it's being negative or fatalist because of the word "die" ?
For me, it's only truth: we're going to die, all of us, that's a fact. And accepting that fact helps understand how important it is to live life while you can, while you're alive. So as negative as the sentence may seem at first, it makes me very very happy.
Perception. :) (annnd a new tattoo on my arm as a reminder of that!)
One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
30 Days of Perception - Day 2 - Hear.
In the silence of the living-room, I can hear the reassuring ticking of my clock.
A version of This Photo (which I'm really proud of) and it's less interesting counterpart that I seriously cropped and combined for the World Through My Eyes Scavenger Hunt: Opposites contest. Any comments you have on the bottom photo please share HERE
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.

While viewing, gently converge (cross) your eyes and focus on the middle image that appears while ignoring the outside. (Becomes easier with practice)

some wake to discover
their species on the take
her problems, your problem
(just like mother used to make)
personal fiction is a cultural tradition
when we talk to ourselves for decades
and still never learn to listen
what stops the stranger self
from pushing to the surface?
we're all gods in our own minds most days
making differing opinions
out as blasphemy and curses
in the silent acceptance
of sheer perception
all we ever wanted
was life without direction
where all the things we do
like dreams, just kinda happen
tapping into artificial
emotional intelligence
asking: "why not live
the way most likely?"
the probable conclusion
the dice roll decision
the vision of what
predictably comes next
mechanical
assistance
in living
(at last)

"The Alabama Jubilee Hot-Air Balloon Classic is the oldest hot-air balloon race in the mid-South, started in Decatur, Alabama in 1978.
The sport of Hot-Air Ballooning had come to Decatur only a few years prior to the fact that the City of Decatur had decided to purchase a hot-air balloon but now needed pilots to fly it. So the salesman of the balloon cut a deal that he would train three pilots to fly the city's new balloon.
A few years later the sport of ballooning had hit Decatur hard and there were several well known pilots living in the area. Craving competition and the festival atmosphere provided at other ballon rallies 17 balloonists from Alabama,Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana got together with a handful of other volunteers and started the Alabama Jubilee
Initially Jubilee also served as a showcase for the new Decatur balloon, one of the first hot air balloons to represent a city, and an event to kick off Alabama's tourism season. These days Jubilee draws about 60 pilots from 20 states for two days of competition during the annual Memorial Day holiday weekend and serves not only as a showcase for the City of Decatur but as a must-attend community event that draws visitors for all over the country.
The continued popularity of the Alabama Jubilee prompted the Alabama Legislature to designate the City of Decatur as the “Ballooning Capital of Alabama.” The Jubilee has also been named a Top 20 Tourism Event in the Southeast for May by the Atlanta-based Southeast Tourism Society."

What had been a throw away shot, caught my eye today and I thought...What if?
So, I twisted it 90 degrees, and boosted the shadows and color. Now it makes me think about a different perspective.
"Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg."
Hans Christian Anderson
This is our local swan. Her and her partner have been using this nest, just a few minutes walk from my parents' house, for years. They have been the victims of vandals destroying the nest, yobs stealing or breaking their eggs and the Cob has required medical treatment after swallowing an abandoned fishing hook and line. Yet they come back year after year, laying their eggs and producing ugly yet beautiful young, which, if they avoid the mink and pike, grow into majestic and serene adults. Truly inspirational.

Promotional Book | Type Promotional Book for Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk
The basis of this project was to choose a typeface and design a poster, promotion book, type promotion book, and website to showcase and promote the chosen typeface. I chose the Copy Family: Copy // Copy Cut // Copy Semi Grotesk from the T26 Digital Type Foundtry.
Concept_Subject of Study:
Copy Semi Grotesk, the typeface designed by Thomas Mettendorf, is a mix between a slab serif, serif, and monotype typeface categories. Copy Semi Grotesk is a typeface that stands on its own, in a unique category between the slab serif, serif, and monotype; in short, Copy Semi Grotesk represents a sense of duality which is how it relates to the subject of subliminal perception. Subliminal perception occurs when you are not consciously aware of receiving information, or learning, yet the information is still stored in your mind; it reaches the individual on a subconscious level but affects one on a conscious level, thereby adding to that layer of duality. Since Copy Cut, with its angular cuts, is about breaking away from the ordinary shapes and basic design, so too is the concept of this book: to break through the meaning of these subliminal messages and realizing the underlying true content.

In rural areas of Pakistan, fear of mobility is one of the most common reasons why girls are not sent to schools post puberty. Funny when it comes to earning, that fear vanishes in no time!
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.
-----
Having stayed in Amman overnight after our arrival and having arranged a camping gas canister via our hotel, we drove our rented car (seemed to be a better choice for us than public transport) to Wadi Musa (the town at Petra). Then we took a taxi to the small settlement of Dana, located right at the edge of the eponymous nature reserve.
The trek starts with impressive views from the curved sandstone cliffs above the reserve and then slowly descends down the long valley of Wadi Dana, following a good track which winds down amidst a splendid sandstone scenery.
Close to the Feynan Eco Lodge, scattered Bedouin settlements (rather simple tents with livestock around) started to appear, and the landscape got more rural character.
The Feynan Eco Lodge itself then emerged from the dusty plains like a Star-Wars building from another planet, with mud-rendered architecture slightly reminding me of ancient settlements in Mali I have seen pictures of. The large building looked both beautiful and bizarre, solar-powered and candle-lit at the same time, and with timeless caravanserai mood of the past centuries.
