‘Preceptions may cloud your vision’. 2014

so…. I’m dyslexic and spelt it wrong .. Oops! #typo

The model in this image I took, is very sweet natured, loves photography, graphics and has a passion to chef. She is always known to come out of the kitchen with a tasty dish! Created by her sheer interest in cooking, homemade cultural meals. I think her capabilities speaks volumes for a young person of 14 years of age, (at the time). The way she is looking at me while I capture her expression completely throws you, hence why I placed the text beneath her and changed the hue to black and white, to take away the warm colours. This picture shows that if you don’t know a person you can clearly make up your mind to suggest the type of person they are.

#typo on the image, ‘perceptions, NOT preceptions,  live and learn hey!

I decided to look up a theorists research of perception.

In the history of philosophy, these theoretical difficulties have generally arisen from a view of external perception, which always seems to result in an opposition between representation and matter. Thus, Bergson’s theory of “pure perception,” laid out in the first chapter of Matter and Memory aims to show that — beyond both realism and idealism — our knowledge of things, in its pure state, takes place within the things it represents.  But, in order to show this, Bergson starts with a hypothesis that all we sense are images.  (Metaphysics et al., 2015)

I took this extract from the book written about Philosopher Henri Bergson’s work and theories.  I think he is stating that it is all about what we may be presented with, for memory, differentiating and consciousness.
