Can we say when, where, and how the colours we see are formed? Are colours present like the flowers in a garden, or just an appearance? A simple, surprising fact, The Unified Principle of Colour, brings answers to age-old questions about colour and colour relationships. To the physics of light, and the biology of vision, a third discipline is added: the process of consciousness that enables perception. It shows that the observer, a living being, has an essential role in producing the colours we perceive.
POLAROIDS is a collection of story/snapshots from a life-long scrapbook: quick images of passing moments in the life of Jackie Barron--hapless lover, hopeless drinker, publicist, pub-crawler, defender of the English language, defendant in the court of life. In 1965 the black & white Polaroid Swinger captured moments available to no one but the photographer and the subject, creating a whole new world of bedroom photography. No hair-and-makeup artists, lighting crew, scenic designer and wardrobe department. Sometimes no wardrobe. "Bedroom photography" is an apt metaphor for POLAROIDS. This brilliant collection captures Jackie Barron's memories in a succession of startling flashes. Butler says, "If someone reads one of these stories and says, 'Did you really do that?' the answer is almost certainly no. Not exactly. Unless maybe the story concerns some thoroughly humiliating experience; there's a pretty good chance I may have done that one." His stories are a life's truths, imagined.
Set in everyday language, Making Sense is an adventure into philosophy that leads to a coherent view of the interaction of mind, self and world. Long-held assumptions that generated the discipline of science are released, revealing what they eclipsed: intent - a mysterious but essential component of reality. To describe intent is to describe how thought produces concepts, how our senses give rise to what we perceive (sound, color, distance, etc.), and what exactly "I" signifies. With this, a curious question arises, "Do I choose to be who I am?"This is a journey to the source of being. Each person follows a unique path yet the paths come together for we are interconnected, yes, you and I. So come as you are and we'll have the pleasure of meeting.
