"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

The light shines more when it is hidden. Seeing it from the shadows, the beauty of light can be seen more intensely. Standing under it, we do not think about its meaning, but when we are not under it, when we see it from afar, we realize just how much we desire it.

Self-Love
Question your perception. When you look at yourself in the mirror and cast judgement on yourself, ask yourself, "Is that really what's there or is that what I think I see?" When you're overly critical of yourself, ask yourself, "Is it really that bad or am I looking at it that way?" Self-love is all about looking for the positive and focusing on what's great about you.

1. Materials used are my sister, her sketchbook, glass, trees, and buildings
2. I photographed my sister practicing her art wherever she goes throughout the day
3. I knelt on the ground and took a photo sideways of my sister and the sunlight to show the contrast of the hard light. I later made the photo black and white, added a vignette, and increased the contrast
When I was working on the original version of this I discovered the world of digital mirroring. I was playing with a photo of windows in an airport and somehow ended up mirroring the photo, and that's where the fun began. I just recently mirrored one of my old drawings and I thought it would be fun to go back to this one (that inspired my latest addiction: digital mirroring) and mirror it again. I'm not sure which one I like better, but this is definitely a nice twist.
Some time ago, I shot a whole roll using my Mamiya C330 and Mamiya-Sekor 55mm wide-angle lens. Due to a shutter fault (ie, it wasn't opening at all at the time*) the pictures on the entire roll and half of the following roll (until I switched lenses) all turned out identical. Here's an example.
In this particular one, I find it interesting how this spurious feature has had an equalising effect on the different subject matter. The occlusion of any original information about the photograph at the point of taking causes a complete lack of metadata. What we know about a photograph - the extra information outside of the photograph (such as the photographer, the time, the place) - can affect our perception of the photograph itself.
Here, we have a total occlusion of intra information, within the photograph, which in turn prevents us from forming distinct perceptions regarding the way I originally shot these photographs. Even I've completely forgotten what the original subjects were, and when and where they were taken. Thus, I'm finding it quite difficult to sort out which ones are the good ones and which ones aren't quite so good, such is the strong effect of the information occlusion on my perception of the photographs.

we don't read one word at a time.
We don't read one word after another, unless, we have learned to read [assess] for content.
Reading for content IS what most of us learn, as it is the CONTENT we have usually been tested on in schools.
Content = knowledge. People can memorize whole books and retain the content. What it means may be unknown to them though.**
When you read a whole statement, a paragraph, a chapter, a book, how much of the content do you remember?
Reading is like listening. It requires attention and to be engaged in the process. When that happens,
what is revealed is the context, the ideas being presented. Words shift meaning as they weave ideas not your own.
The weaving and the distinctions created are context, and the whole is language.
Not letters, not words, not sentences, not communication. All of those are content based.
Animals communicate. Humans have the ability to apply new distinctions to old words.
We have language, and it lives not in content, but by the connection of the content into a context.
Languaging. Ideas that reveal new perspectives, new connections and reveal the thinking of the writer. And it is all relative.
Definition of CONTEXT
1: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning
2: the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs : environment, setting.
Origin of CONTEXT
Middle English, weaving together of words,
from Latin contextus connection of words,
coherence, from contexere to weave together, from com- + texere to weave —often related to technical language.
First Known Use: circa 1568
