These three pairs of photos struck me as a perfect example of how “the what” that we look at impacts how we see/perceive the world!

Each pair is a set of snapshots taken from the same position - the same perspective- & the same space in time (within nano seconds of each other) ….and 

They resulted in drastically different pictures! What was altered making capturing the moment so different?  1) IDENTIFYING & 2)CHOOSING a point of focus & 3) ACTION to capture the moment as desired to be seen.  

Autopilot (unconsciously clicking) gives the silhouette - the outline - picture defined by polarities and contrasts.

Choosing…  differently … intentionally OR unintentionally .. can provide an opportunity to experience more detail, more color, more blending, more transition,…

By choosing to focus on a variety of different areas… We get to see how that influences an outcome.  Sometimes, when we focus on only the part we want to see, it can then darken the rest of everything else that is also there.

Can you see how photography is to topology AS self reflection can be to psychology?

This little discovery actually started because I made “an error” - then a learning around the error came - an opening where things begin to overlap and co-exist - ah… “it was a mistake , I now know how I can “correct the error”. 

Yet after I “went back and corrected it”, the learning and expansion still remained! So, if the learning remains after the originating action had been completed, retracted, and corrected with still an end result of expansion, how does that constitute for a “mistake”?

Seems, perhaps, it is in our conditioning not only to judge, but also on HOW we are “supposed” to judge that which does not look as if “we believe it is supposed to”?  (The one set of photos was made Unconsciously, while the remaining two sets were done “on purpose”.  Yet, can you even tell which was which?)

We make decisions (judge) things that we hold against a measuring stick - a measuring stick that was actually someone else’s! We were taught, and then bought into it as if it were “the law” inside. 

What if we changed our judgment …. shook it up a bit - decided on the where and the what to focus? Do we dare let our other colors also be seen? We now know that they really are there……..
