This image is inspired by my photographic friend Philippe de Feluy. He published an image under this title, and I am continuing this process by taking up the lead and by applying it to my self-portraits. So, where do I stand between reality and imagination? How should I present myself visually? In front of my car or the things I own, my bookshelf to highlight my academic affiliation? Dressed up formally or, as here, in casual clothing? Myself, as a lone individual or together with others and thus emphasising sociability? A bit wild and unkempt in order to demonstrate my distaste for blind conformity? Well, I chose the garden shed, the island, the last refugium, a place where the constraints are minimal. And I am holding a hammer. Should I not? An octogenarian with attitude? At least in private? An illusionary way to continue with the ideals I had half a century ago? You will have noticed by now that one side of the equation, "reality", is crumbling in speedy progression. It is the "imagination" bit that dominates. This image is pure imagination, a design to be used on a public stage where a play is being shown that can only be seen in my mind. I am not sure how Philippe would see things, but in my mind it is clear that when it comes to self-portraits we deal with our imagination and we must leave it to others to discover the reality of it. Leica M 246 Mono, Voigtlander NC 1.4/35 at approx. F5.6.

A calmness arises when we are in a quiet place with a sensory subject that brings our mental focus out of hiding and into the here and now.
I have written a short Facebook post that uses this image and the original image as examples of my opinion on artistic photography. It will give you a peek at how much changed in the post processing.

There is no truth. There’s only perception.

Time for a touch of minimalism. This is a little scene I found at Wellington Reservoir in Western Australia on an overcast day. The dead tree stump poking out of the water caught my attention especially and I decided to take few long exposures to create a subtle moody image.

The Glasshouse at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle is a 40-foot tall, glass and steel structure covering 4,500 square feet of light-filled space.
The installation is a 100-foot long sculpture exploding with colour.
One's perception of the artwork changes as the lighting changes throughout the day.
Fuji X-Pro3, Fujinon XF 2/90. This close-up is an 'arranged' self-portrait, meaning that I am trying to show myself as inviting as possible. And yet there is unease. I think the reason for this is the mismatch between self-perception and photo. In my mind, I am not that old as the image is telling me. This is different from denial. I am aware of my age and my body tells me in no uncertain terms what goes on. However, inside my mind there is unlimited mobility stretching out to where the void begins and all movement eventually stops. Unease.
We all have our own perceptions in life and at some point of time we try to convince others to agree to our perception thinking that ours is the only right one.
In this image, a circle shape can be seen from top but it is also a flask-shape when it is viewed from other angle, both shapes are real and both angles are right, it is just a difference of perception.
We should respect each other's perceptions, point-of-views, ideas, suggestions, advises, etc. and should be open to those things for better human relation.
The moment you change your perception, is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body. – Dr. Bruce H. Lipton
Turrell has studied both the nature of light and the psychology of perception. At sunrise or sunset in the "Amarna" one participates in an experience that uses light and colour to create a sense of altered space. I mentioned that Turrell was raised a Quaker, whose emphasis on the "Inner Light" is central to everything they do. This belief has never left Turrell. He walks in the Light and uses the light spectrum as a metaphor for what he considers the essence of the Light.
On the top right hand corner of this montage you'll see rows of seats that extend right around the installation. These are just like those found in old Quaker Meeting Houses. In fact the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Hobart use this space from time to time for meetings. A Quaker meeting is held in a silent meditative state, at once individual and corporate. That's Mt Wellington / kunanyi in the background.
Sitting silently and looking up (another metaphorical act) the colours change so gradually that one moves through the entire visible colour spectrum over the next 45 minutes. That rectangular window in the ceiling allows one to look through and see the sky. But even the sky seems to change colour and vibrancy with the changing of the light.

Remembering a few of the things I’m grateful for as a photographer. For the love of photography, thanks be to all and lots of inspiration ☀️
Sudden change in climate.....added so much beauty with amazing playful colour strokes, witnessed at Naya Raipur.
What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are. - C.S. Lewis
I could have done with another 200mm on my lens , but you have to use what you have with you.
when you use a telephoto lens things in the background of the image will appear larger and compressed closer to the foreground. (The sky divers are well behind the aircraft taking off).
Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and the distance of an object. Depth sensation is the corresponding term for animals, since although it is known that animals can sense the distance of an object (because of their ability to move accurately, or to respond consistently, according to that distance), it is not known whether they perceive it in the same subjective way that humans do.
Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues. These are typically classified into binocular cues that are based on the receipt of sensory information in three dimensions from both eyes and monocular cues that can be represented in just two dimensions and observed with just one eye.
We found a cute little cafe for our cup of tea, called Changing Perceptions. Some info below, for those who are interested!
Changing Perceptions has quickly evolved from Godalming’s best kept secret to a popular and bustling Café and home interior shop. Located at the very top of the High Street this unique and vibrant social enterprise is just a stone’s throw away from the Meath. Meath clients are supported to up-cycle donated furniture in the on-site workshop which is then put on sale in the shop, with all profit going straight back to the charity. It is a very important part of the Meath’s philosophy to help dispel the stigma associated with epilepsy and to assist all of our clients to live alongside people from all walks of life, sharing similar experiences and hopes and dreams for the future.
This is my last photo from this trip, but don't worry, I have another couple of day trips to share!!
