Well it would be hard to imagine a camera lens that is free from all optical flaws and cramming lenses into small cameras like the G9 means there is going to be some distortion, chromatic aberration and perspective etc. If this really bothers you, or you want the best quality why not try a software...
I have decided to read a chapter a day of E.H. Gombrich's book The Story of Art this coming month. Thus far, I have covered primitive art and Egyptian/Mesopotamian art. I find the efficiency and consistency of Egyptian art particularly fascinating. Egyptian artists depicted feet from the side (and...
The photo in the last post was taken directly under the tower, and this one from the front. I love the photography, taken by a friend of mine. What strikes me about the two photos together is that things change with perspective. Most artists try to show a fresh perspective on everyday thoughts with...
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived. -Oscar Wilde Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. -Ralph Waldo Emerson I have a few questions: What is truth? How do we distingush between what is true and what is false? Does an individual have the authority to...
A little perspective: Petrol prices in the UK are currently the equivalent of $8.468 a gallon. And this is not some sudden, astronomically huge price hike. The last time we paid less than $4 a gallon was 1996 (approximately 52.9p per litre. In 1997 it rose to 57.9p per litre). Factoring in inflation...
It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. — Carl Jung

It's been a long time since I got in here and got involved in writing anything. I can't seem to get the time to sit at the computer long enough to gather my thoughts well enough to write. There has been a lot going on here, and Allen's job has been more stressful than usual lately. Well, I think...
I was doing a little research on another article when I came across this great site. On it I was acquainted with a video series on YouTube which reveals tolerance training our corporations are subjecting their employees to. This training series was created in 1968 by a third grade school teacher....
Perspective is a strange phenomenon. On the one hand, it's a very tricky thing to draw even though our eyes and brains are well-accustomed to constantly interpreting and making sense of the way that objects tend taper towards the horizon away from us from our point of view. On the other hand,...
I've survived the brutish portion of the work week - barely. Despite the hours, endless mental frustrations, and physical exhaustion, I am in relatively good spirits. Let me share the reasons. I read the law of attraction, which I thought evoked optimism because it encourages perpetuating a positive...
This time next week we'll be within exactly one hour from landing time in Los Cabos for the Future1investor Conference Cabo At this point it feels like I'm just dreaming of the warmer weather and sound of crashing waves on the beach. But I'm looking forward to this trip as a way of re-energizing...
今日から明日まで、韓国出張です。 今回のたびの目的もいつもと同じく投資先の会社数社と面談です。 朝一番の便でソウル入りして、夜の9時近くまでミーティングと移動でびっしり・・・ 今回は、いつも同行してもらうスタッフが仕事の都合で一緒に来られず、久々に自分で段取りをしています。 間違わないようにしないと。 さすがに韓国の会社をしょっちゅう訪問するわけにはいかないので、たまに訪問する機会を最大限に活用せねばなりません。 実際は、そのミーティングに向けて話し合うアジェンダを如何に組み上げてきたかで、実際のミーティングのアウトプットはほぼ決まってしまっています。 自分の職務上のタイトル、ミーティング...
プロジェクトをすすめていると、自分の知識や知恵の不足により解決法がわからない、スタッフの質や量の問題でとりかかる術がみえない、上下左右に存在するステークホルダーの利害調整、外野の意見等などいろんな課題や障害がでてきます。 ステップとしては、そういったものは、まずは「悩み」カテゴリーに掘り込んでから、別途考えると・・という思考パターンをとるわけですが、ぽいっとそういうカテゴリーに放り込んでしまうと、膨大な未読メールを抱え込むメールの受信トレーにようにいつまでも解決されません。 こういう場合は、悩みを問題として認識して、ベストな解決法をその場で考える、というアプローチが結局のところ自分を助ける道...
Everything has positive points and negative points to it, depending on what angle you're looking from. A salute to those who shine a ray of light on everything in their path and see life in a golden hue. I myself find this type of attitude very inspiring and much easier to practice and live with in...
