Mind Censors the Senses by yaorenliu

Mind Censors the Senses

This is what I read, and this is what I shoot.
“We tune out 99 % of the sensory stimuli we actually receive, and we solidity the remainder into discrete mental objects, Then we react to those mental objects in programmed habitual ways”.
I surely make somebody’s head hurt.
p.s. I changed the colors of the arms
i know who the "somebody" is...:)

Very cool. At first I thought these were a pair of legs!

The text makes my head hurt and the photo itself does something weird to my head/perceptions. Excellent thought provoking photo.

Agreed! Did you hope that we won't notice the changed colour of the arms? It's not the remainder from 99% of the object! I guess that the differences in our mentality and education is obvious - we have very different original settings of our 'tunes'! To implement this statement I would rather showed some simple picture with obviously outstanding unsignificant detail, like - I would paint man's nails in green colour for example. I hope you understood me! So the differences of our perception are striking in my opinion!
PS. I'm curoius! Who's the model? :)

@ksyu It is a seaman working on a parked ship.

@liuting they are seaman's arms, after you said that, I find that they are feminine looking.

Great pic. Made me stop and ponder. Thanks for the workout.

Love the headache and chance to think outside my parameters! Must admit that if you can change the colours, I can change the direction of the picture! Again, this is great!

Did you also turn the picture? I read once that if we did not block out the thousands of sensory stimuli we receive in a minute, we would literally not be able to process the information fast enough. So in a sense our censoring is sensible. (o: Good shot!

@olivetreeann No, I did not turn the picture, this guy is working from the deck above. The interesting part is what is left after censoring.
