Since the past few days, some threads of my attention had been involved in the listening of inner sounds. This time it is not only a matter of listening to these inner sounds, but also a matter of how I’m generating them. As I want to explore more physically the lights and the manifestation of the objective through photography, I want to explore more subjectively the sounds which are also vibrations. In both cases I want to direct my attention and my perception in certain ways to create different manifestations.

In the first case, it seems to be a reproduction of the outer reality. In the second case, I really have no idea of what I’m going to find.

This was a weird beginning of the week. Maybe due to the fact that I was going to Spain on Thursday (tomorrow) and that I felt already in holidays… I hadn’t any desire or will to work. I managed to create peaceful activities and stretch my lunch breaks I read some articles about photography, I read manuals and I practiced a lot with my alternates selves all these aspects.

Yesterday, I was told that I had to attend a presentation on Thursday and on Friday… Well I reminded them gently that I would not be able to do so, being in Spain… They seemed surprised and I told her that I had already told that to the big boss a few weeks ago. Something he had conveniently disposed of apparently… It was another peaceful activity and something that helped me end the day earlier today.

This presentation was like a hallucination Continue reading »

Some images of dinosaurs were nudging my imagination since a few days. I eventually got the Jurassic park trilogy, assuming in a way that I wanted to see the movies… and today we watched the 3 of them with Eric. Well, I’m not sure if I got what I was looking for, I feel a bit tired and as if I were force-fed.

Too many dinos and “Oh my god! What have we done?” which seems to be one of the favorite replicas of our cinematographic industry these days

There is one thing that caught my attention while I was watching these movies. I was busy looking at the images, the photography, the exposure, the lights, how the screen was empty or full, how my attention was attracted or distracted from what seemed to be the main subject of the scene.

That was interesting because I was focusing on completely different aspects of the movies that I would normally have. I’ll be looking for other connections in the next few days, and every aspects seems like a weaving of the reality.

Coming back to the dinosaur connection, it may have been with a scientific guy with whom I was counterparting, or a boy fascinated with his dinosaur toys, or some dream of an alien dimension into which they had migrated since their disappearance of Earth actually that is not so interesting to me as I don’t feel the need to look for this kind of information.

After we finished lunch today, no dessert would fit for me. I wanted nothing special, and maybe I didn’t want any dessert at all. Nonetheless I decided to take a glass of milk and some biscuits, something I used to love so much a few months ago and that I haven’t taken since Eric’s moved in.

My choice fall upon some shell-shaped cookies with bits of chocolate and I dipped them into the cup of milk (yeah actually I took a mug and not the glass you can see in picture ) and ate them… expecting this ecstasy feeling I always had when doing so and drinking the glass of milk…

I didn’t even finished the milk, I had no pleasure with the soaked cookies and the taste of that beverage… I was very surprised by this drastic change of preference as it used to be one of my favorite drinks… I can still remember the feeling of cold or not so cold milk falling into my throat and filling up my stomach… no more of that.

Since a few weeks I’ve been adding old pictures to my flickr account, taking pictures with my cell phone and adding them too, and I’ve also been looking at pictures of friends and of perfect “strangers” that I could find on the internet.

I’m curious about how people are perceiving their reality and pictures are but one mean to explore that aspect. This is what I want to develop currently and I’m more specifically looking for relationships between subjects, connections, movements… I’m not looking for something static though pictures are apparently static unless you look at those in Harry Potter

Avram had an eye for framing landscapes… I was rather crap at it myself but I was eager to learn. I’m still willing to experiment that though I’m attracted by closer subjects than landscapes.

Yesterday I realized I had at home many little objects that I could examine through this different perception lens.

Haha, writing all that I feel scattered because my mind is wandering in so many directions at the same time, exploring new possible avenues of exploration of this subject. One is also drawing, another is using colors, another is just feeling.

Well all that to say I’ve bought a new camera and I want to use it not necessarily to flood the internet with my pictures, but to explore the reality and its possible appearances.
