This is one of my favorite pictures. Taken on my way to work near a small town, Munford, Alabama. It was the magical time in between summer and winter when this beautiful array of trees starts turning white. This picture was taken in between the blocks of wooden fence.

No particular perception by George Lion

I was talking to myself in the bathroom, and suddenly my reality lost its structure, shapes and movements lost their meanings, and then I discovered I didn't want to my perception to put me in a useful reality anymore, I didn't want to give shapes a function, I decided to forget forever the content I learned to give to what I see ; my damaged perception lost me in the lines and colors I see, but at least I really see them for themselves, I give them the form I want, and now contemplating the world is like contemplating myself ; destroying my perception was creating my reality, painting my reality, giving to the world the shape of my insanity : destroying my perception was art.

Making False Assumptions by Eric Ziegler

Zag - bit.ly/1LLfkob

Most of what you see and think is a lie. When I first read the title of one of John Stepper's blog posts (John is of Working Out Loud book fame, I wasn't sure what I would find. The title, The man singing falsetto in the ladies' room, definitely attracted me to reading his blog post. And when I read it, what I read was not what I expected, which is exactly what John was trying to do with the title of his blog. If you have not read the article, go read it, it is totally worth the 5 minutes it will take you to read it.

In John's blog post, he highlights that most people will make assumptions about the intentions of an action by another person. We take lots of little pieces of information in based on our observations and then fill in the rest with our imagination. Basically, what we do is fill in all the missing pieces. And by filling in the pieces, we often get it wrong.

While it is not possible in all situations, if you catch yourself making assumptions about someone else or guessing what someone is thinking based on their actions, take a step back and try to assess the full story, ask questions and be thoughtful before making a mistake based on false assumptions.

Go read the article, it is worth it and the punchline is awesome.

Officer Raimund Baron Stillfried von Rathenitz moved to Japan in 1868 and opened a photographic studio in Yokohama in 1871. His first pictures of the city and surrounding scenery, which were intended for a local clientele, testify to the feeling for composition and spatial effects he ad acquired during his training as a painter. His later staged studio photographs of people in traditional costumes were mainly aimed at the increasing number of tourists and informed the visual perception of the country in Europe. After his returm to Vienna, the Imperial and Royal Ministry of the Interior commissioned him to document various crown estates in photographs from 1885 on. His snapshot-like street views, markedly different from the static photograhs taken in Asia, were made possible by the development of photographic apparatuses and materials: the cameras were becoming smaller and lighter, the negatives more light-sensitive.
