Plan B


Here one may imagine, say, a travelling couple and a “disloyal” sky... It's either too warm, too cold, too warm again... Flexible in every way! Or maybe you see for example an employee with his or her boss - or perhaps this is a parent and a child, two friends..? What if you could give them a piece of advice..? Either to deal with their problem or just cheer them up..!

Disappearing Walls


Here a cultural centre in Japan is the primary source of inspiration. Perhaps you know this architectural notion, where walls almost seem to dissolve... The floating border between interior and exterior almost let them become one single unit. The idea naturally becomes very relevant in the summer (with balconies, terraces etc.). This picture implies another illusion. Do you think it looks like two photographs, merged into one..? Also a photographer may believe that...

Imagined Reality


Let’s go beyond the imagined for a few seconds... This man is happier than he looks (and he wants us to write about him). Actually, he was very excited just a few minutes before this photo was taken. He believes that he is the leading actor in a film. This kind of thinking obviously fills his life with meaning... If you  imagine his situation now, should somebody convince him that these thoughts are only fantasies..? 

That Huge Eye


Big eyes can be associated with dog eyes… Mark Plonsky (professor and expert on animal behavior) has compared the average human’s and dog’s vision... Dogs are red-green color blind, which occurs in 4 % of male humans. This is due to having only two, not three, cone types – light sensitive cells in the retina include cones and rods. Since dogs have no area with 100 % cones, their eye for detail is roughly six times poorer than in an average human! However, dogs have much better night vision for two reasons. They have more rods and a reflective surface behind the retina, reflecting light back through it (giving that eerie shine at night). Dogs are also better able to detect movement. Due to the placement of the eyes.., humans have an overlap of the field of each eye of 140; in dogs, it is about 100. This results in the dog having limited ability to focus on items at different distances, but a wider overall field, allowing them to see more of the world!

Is This a Man or a Woman?


If you want to test your own reaction..! It is late in the evening and the light is very obscure. Reflections and smoke create an illusion of wood surrounding his or her face. Is it a dream..? You can't distinguish this person's sex - this is what you see... He or she says, in a rather dark voice: "I'm looking for the nearest hotel." How do you react if you decide it is a woman? What if you imagine it is a man? The situation and the body language may be neutral in both situations... If your feelings are mixed, is that disturbing or exciting..? Is it annoying not knowing the sex? If so, why..? You can see the whole face in Untitled # 32. 

The Orchid Rivals


The struggle for power between two brothers was a recurrent theme, particularly in ancient and medieval history. Two species of orchids next to each other will compete... The orchid family contains up to 26 049 accepted species (except hybrids and cultivars). That is more than twice the number of bird species... Since it is spring - and it is possible to see only one person in the picture - this photograph is also a tribute to the Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, Carl von Linné. He laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. He is also known as one of the founders of modern ecology.
