We’re laying it bare. Stripping it down. Peeling back perspective.

In this monthly round up you’ll find the Life Lenses™ blog posts laid bare for the month of January.

Get bare, dive in deep and take a full look around or simply take a peek. It’s up to you. Regardless, your perspective will thank you.

 My attention was recently caught & held by the triptych photos of Adde Adesokan. He’s known for taking three part photos that capture the story of a person.

The picture above is not by him btw  but rather Evoo73 (Adde’s photos aren’t licensed for me to use here but you can see them here).

Carrot Life Lenses™ will be drawn to the focus on detail.

Heart Life Lens™ will be drawn in by the emotion they evoke.

Go Life Lens™ will be captivated by the new way of seeing a person.

Journey Life Lenses™ will appreciate the story.

I like them because they’re a new way of looking at something, a fresh perspective.

What three things could the camera catch that would capture you?

You’re fine, how am I? (Dan Piraro of Bizarro comic fame)

January 24th, 2012

(I can’t include the comic because it’s not licensed for free public use but you can see it here, it’s #8.)

It throws a wrench into perspective. It twists our typical way of looking at things.

It throws up a looking glass, a mirror, a reflection and asks what you see.

You’re fine, how am I?

What lumps & bumps are under your pillow? Their source may surprise you

January 19th, 2012

This video made me laugh out loud. (Take a minute to watch it & then report back.)

What are the lumps & bumps under your pillow? aka what are the things that are flying slightly under your radar?

Here’s the view of a bumpy bed from four of the 8 Life Lens™ perspectives.

From a Carrot Life Lens™ – sees the conflict details (sometimes in minutia) but may miss the big picture. Think Princess & the Pea.

From a Mountain Life Lens™ – notices the view from on high but misses the down home, detailed view. On a bad day think grand, sweeping, generalized (sometimes stereotyped) statements, eg all beds with blue bedspreads are uncomfortable.

From a Heart Life Lens™ – feels the undercurrents, the emotions, the subjective but may miss the tangible, objective. On a bad day it’s like wearing your heart on your sleeve. eg I sense that there are 9 lives living in this bed.

From a Head Life Lens™ – thinks about what’s tangible, objective & factual. On a bad day think of focusing on facts while missing the intuitive. It is not logical that I am lying on people, therefore I am not.
