I’ve been a little preoccupied with other “life” things and haven’t been focused on visiting friends blogs, material for this blog or photography in general. I have been thinking about what we see and how we view it through our own unique individual filters. Reality is something we create for ourselves and can be like smoke, changing in life’s breezes. From these thoughts, the above image. ;-)
“Who knows the true definition of real?”
― James Dashner, The Eye of Minds
Don’t know if there’s an answer to that question but it can be fun trying to find it :)
And understanding ourselves always seems to make life a little easier.
I like where that train of thought took you Earl.
Cedric, that’s probably one of those questions which need to be carried along in life…the kind of open-ended question which keeps a person connected and humble in life. Self-confidence is great but these days it seems to be that true and honest humility is undersold and often in short supply.
That “train of thought” is still chugging down the track so who knows where it might lead. 🙂
Thanks!
I suppose “truth” in on the minds of a lot of people these days. Same goes for visual references. I recall a story I read once on just the differences people have of what the color red is. And certainly, a human’s perception is different than other animals with similar or larger brains. Regardless, I love how this thinking evolved into the image here. Love the concept, and nicely executed.
Mark, I don’t know how “truth” rates these days. It seems for many “truth” is terribly devalued or unrecognizable. I’m hanging on hoping the pendulum is going to swing back the other way. I can’t be a believer in alternate facts. :o
I find individual differences in the perception of life, surroundings and events an interesting subject. I usually try to keep in mind everyone has their own unique point of view. In some cases, it can be slight differences and in other cases, it can be “miles” apart. Realizing this difference exist has often kept my “foot out of my mouth.” :-)
Thank-you on the image and process. Have a great one…
Yes, a question to carry along in life and be the source of more questions. As Cedric suggests, the answer(s) is probably never attainable or never fully understood. In fact the question may not be fully understood. Love it!
I have not been too excited about keeping up with all the blogs I have been following. I had 29 to read this morning and have tried to comment on those that triggered a response.
I too have not been “too excited” about keeping up with my blog list. One of those moods I sometimes get into. :-)
Perhaps on some subjects, the most we can hope for is to define the “right” questions. Have a great one, Monte!
