Hey Y'all!
Sorry to leave you hanging for a while - but I have been undergoing extensive uh, restructuring . . . ya, that's it. When I last left you I believe we were discussing "The Donkey - Stubborn Mule or Horse's Ass."
Today we're going to be looking at a couple of interesting sites I have come across while at the Sanatorium in Bruderheim.
The first site is from www.eyetricks.com It's based on those Magic Eye drawings that used to be in the Sunday comics in the newspaper - when there used to be good comics. Anyway, I used to be pretty good at finding the hidden picture. Now I can't seem to find it - maybe it's different looking at a monitor as opposed to cheap newsprint. Maybe I am in too deep in our/my present reality that I am having difficulty letting go of it? Maybe I am just getting too damned old to return to the vision and realities of my youth?
What struck me much later in life when I was attending a Education Foundations class the University made me take was that these Magic Eye or Eye Tricks - are philosophically and educationally profound: You have to lose your focus in order to see more clearly. That's deep!!! Foster Walker - I still miss you dearly - as do the students in Edmonton - who never had the pleasure of meeting you!
They say that the deal with Einstein wasn't so much that he was more of a brainiac than the rest of us schmucks - it was that he could see things more clearly than the rest of us. For example, some people can clearly see those images where it is either an old man or young woman - some can't. Freeman Patterson, one of Canada's most amazing photographers said something to the effect that it is not so much that you see what is there - it is that you see what is not there that makes you a good photographer . . .
I hope you will ponder that for a spell and get back to me . . . Look out for next week's blog . . . The Emu: Champion Swimmer or Wood Tick's Nemesis . . .
