In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Unified Theory of Absurdity as imagined by Deep AI
Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson has proposed a unified theory of absurdity in which he suggests that absurdity does not exist in the universe, but it is a product of human perception. Tyson argues that we, as humans, have a hard time accepting the nature of the universe and, therefore, we create absurdity to fill the void of our understanding.
According to Tyson, humans have a natural tendency to apply the human perspective to everything, ignoring the fact that the universe is vastly different from anything we can imagine. He notes that we often think in binary terms, such as good and evil, black and white, and life and death. However, the universe operates on a scale that we cannot comprehend, with phenomena that defy our simplistic understanding of the world.
Tyson asserts that human beings find it difficult to comprehend the nature of the universe, and we often struggle to accept its vast complexity. In our quest to understand the world around us, we create absurdity to fill the gaps in our understanding. For example, we often assign meaning to random events, such as seeing patterns in clouds or finding significance in coincidences — to try and make sense of our world. But this can lead to a misinterpretation of the reality before us.
Tyson explains that we often create absurdity as a coping mechanism for things that we cannot understand. Tyson suggests that we do this to feel in control of the universe, even when we are not. Additionally, Tyson argues that absurdity arises when humans try to impose their will on the universe. He notes that we often create absurdity by assuming that we know what is best for the universe, even though we cannot possibly know what the universe needs.
Tyson believes that the universe's inherent absurdity to us is a result of our limited perspective. We try to translate the universe into something that fits into our preconceived notions of how things should be. However, the universe operates on a scale so vast that it leaves us both intrigued and utterly confused, but also endlessly entertained.
Finally, Tyson posits that the universe is inherently absurd to us because it exists beyond our comprehension. He suggests that, instead of creating absurdity to fill the void of our understanding, we should be open to the mysteries of the universe and embrace the unknown.
An Alternative take on the seemingly Boundless Absurdity of the Universe
By contrast, other prominently deranged and deluded theoretical physicists believe that quantum entanglement, the phenomenon where two particles become connected and behave as one, is the cornerstone of a competing unified theory of absurdity. According to their model, they argue that the universe is full of absurd, entangled particles, each part of a cosmic joke that we humans are not meant to understand.
This alternate theory goes on to suggest that the unpredictability of quantum entanglement is what gives rise to the absurdity of everyday life. From the inexplicable behaviour of our pets to the bizarre behavior of our politicians - everything can be traced back to the strange and unpredictable behavior of these tiny particles.
This outlandish and preposterously controversial school of theoretical physics goes on to posit that the universe may, in fact, be one giant, tangled web of absurdity. They suggest that everything in the universe might be entangled and that it's only our limited perception that prevents us from seeing the interconnectedness of all things.
To take this alternative theory to its ‘logical’ conclusion, we could say that the universe is one giant cosmic joke, and that we are all just characters in a farcical play that is constantly unfolding. From the smallest subatomic particles to the most distant galaxies, everything is part of this grand absurdity, and nothing is quite what it seems.
As to the more widely accepted view, Tyson's unified theory of absurdity concludes that absurdity is nothing but a product of human perception. Overall, Tyson's theory of absurdity is a refreshing perspective on how we, as humans, interact with the universe. It encourages us to approach the universe with an open mind instead of trying to impose our will upon it. By acknowledging the complexity of the universe and our limitations in experiencing it, we can experience beauty in life's most absurd moments.

The image above was based off of three separate AI images created in Dream by Wombo, then stitched together with extensive manually cloning work in PS. A minimal oil paint filter was also applied in PS. Finally, the low-res pixelated image was smoothened and then re-sharpened in Topaz DeNoise.
Photographers at the Olympus photographic playground in Amsterdam. The light source creates a shadow on the screen which is between me and the photographer. Through the shadow another photographer and his subject is visible.
At first sight the shadow looks more real than the person that creates the shadow :).
For me this image serves as a modern illustration of Plato's cave allegory and the perception of the freed philosopher. The philosopher can see through the shadows the reality. The image illustrates for me also that images can have different layers of interpretation.
Cave allegory from Wikipedia:
Plato has Socrates describe a gathering of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from things passing in front of a fire behind them, and they begin to give names to these shadows. The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. ...This allegory fascinated me already as a child.
“Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.”
― Miyamoto Musashi
I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.

I often like to think about our place in the universe... and scale... and relativity. For all we know, this big honking Earth of ours... teeming with what we know as lifeforms... is merely a molecule in some other, much larger structure.
Could be. After all, the microscopic view reveals entire worlds and civlizations invisible to our unaided eyes. And even a macro lens gives us a whole different perspective on size and scale.
And since I'm too tired to write today, I'll just repeat some doggerel I created as a kid, which basically says the same kind of thing (and suggests that I have changed very little in the past 30-plus years):
To a flea it's a four-lane highway
To an ant it's a mountain pass
To a cow it's plain delicious
To me it's a piece of grass.
(P.S. This is my first photo taken with my first-ever macro lens, which Husband Mike bestowed upon me for the big Four-Oh.)
Psychology analyzes how colors, personal image, and perception influence the creation of a good first impression.
Green is linked to harmony and emotional well-being. Research from the German Institute for Neuroscience indicates that this color produces feelings of calm and openness.
Using green can facilitate communication, as it conveys a relaxed and approachable attitude in social settings.

In this photo, does the railing of the staircase appear perfectly straight, or does it deform into an undulation, like a wave, as soon as you look at it? Is what we perceive, as individuals, objective reality, or just a subjective interpretation of it? Between different people, do we share the same vision of the world around us, or are our perceptions shaped by our unique experiences? In short, aren't there as many realities as there are individuals? Couldn't we say that the world is, in the final analysis, only what we choose to see in it?
Sur cette photo, le garde-corps de l’escalier semble-t-il parfaitement droit, ou se déforme-t-il en une ondulation, comme une vague, dès que votre regard se pose dessus ? Ce que nous percevons, en tant qu'individus, est-il la réalité objective, ou n’est-ce qu’une interprétation subjective de celle-ci ? Entre différentes personnes, partageons-nous la même vision du monde qui nous entoure, ou nos perceptions sont-elles façonnées par nos expériences uniques ? En somme, n’existe-t-il pas autant de réalités qu’il y a d’individus ? Ne pourrait-on pas affirmer que le monde n’est, en définitive, que ce que nous choisissons d’y voir ?
I always imagined if I had a real large format camera and I could capture the complete details of this beautiful city of San Francisco. Well to get this idea a reality in digital world, where large electronic sensors of Cameras are cost prohibitive, I decided to create a 200+ Megapixels of panorama by combining several smaller pictures where a panoramic picture has enough details for printing up to 4 ft by 14 ft without losing any details. Read on my blog on how this was created.
Inspiration comes in many forms. It doesn't always mean copying styles of work you like. Sometimes it simply opens the doors of perception to new possibilities.
When I was in Melbourne recently I acquired a book of strange photographs by Thomas Neumann (born 1975), a member of the now famous Düsseldorf school of photographers in Germany. This group includes luminaries like Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff and Thomas Struth. They were trained in the "objectivist" tradition exemplified by their teachers, Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Dusseldorf Art Academy).
I was so taken with this school of photography, especially for its potential in shooting architecture, that I followed up as much as I could about it. Let me also share a link to this marvellous French production:
The New German Objectivity

But even within this objectivist school you'll see enormous points of difference between each photographer - though inspired by the same ideas. This is what is exciting about photo art. We start with the world as it is and end up with new ways of representation. www.artsy.net/gene/dusseldorf-school-of-photography
Thomas Neumann's book is called The Japanese Series (a perfect objectivist title). Some examples of his work can be seen here at LensCulture: www.lensculture.com/thomas-neumann

This is my by far my favorite style of photography, long twilight exposures.
Im on a run of lackluster sunsets, but today i was determined to go home with a shot. After seeing the result I need to get out more when its rubbish.
wind was blowing a gale, I could literally see the camera wobbling.
Somehow managed a sharp image. to do with the law of averages I assume.
just switched to lightroom 4 and cant find where they hide the photo info menu, anyway.
approx 8 min, lights turned on for last 3min (lucky touch)
