photos from the field
The field of quantum cosmology attempts to blend the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity. My interest in anomalous light phenomena and the fusion of concept art with Nature's light and energy anomalies explores such profound cosmological ideas and fuel new inspirations for my AI-infused conceptual artwork, bridging the esoteric with the empirical.
The idea of an expanding, no-boundary universe suggests that at a certain point in the 'past', the conventional notion of time, as a linear progression, ceases to exist. Instead, time morphs into a spatial dimension, thereby erasing the concept of a beginning. The visualization of such an abstract concept of the universe's origins serves as an exploration realm, where I intend to integrate my skills in data analysis and visualization to interpret these complex cosmological theories.
The blend of quantum cosmology, art, and my experience in capturing Light and energy anomalies could lead to a fascinating exploration of the universe's mysteries, while potentially offering new visually compelling perspectives both in the scientific and artistic domains.
Fieldwork Conclusions
Based on my fieldwork experiences and accompanying photographs, our reality might be much more complex than we conventionally understand. The distinction I've observed in perceiving and photographing entities that some other people can perceive only through the photographs, suggests that there are different levels of perception or reality. This aligns with the Simulation Hypothesis, implying that what we experience might be one layer of a multi-leveled simulated reality.
The ability to interact with certain aspects of reality that are invisible or imperceptible to others indicates that there are varying levels of sensory or cognitive perception. It seems that while some people are confined to the five basic senses, many others have access to a different level of perception. Technology, like my iPhone camera, serves as a crucial mediator in this context. It bridges the gap between these different levels of perception, capturing and translating my experiences into a form that others can understand and witness. This interplay of science, technology, and spirituality opens up new discussions about the nature of reality and the limitations of human perception.
From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint, these experiences support the idea of a layered reality, where different levels or dimensions have their own distinct rules and perceptions. It challenges the traditional scientific reliance on observable and measurable phenomena, suggesting that there might be elements of reality beyond these conventional boundaries.
In conclusion, my experiences have led me to a deep consideration of the potential layers of reality, the unique ways in which different individuals perceive the world, and the significant role technology can play in connecting these varied experiences. This perspective invites a reevaluation of our understanding of consciousness, reality, and the potential expansiveness of human perception.
Optical Light Phenomena
Light Phenomena as seen by Naked Eye: 1 = ball of light 2 = light rays 3 = illuminated mist 4 = iridescent phenomena 5 = dark phenomena
Notes: The camera occasionally photographed more detail than what was visible by unaided eye perception.
The majority of light phenomena was semi-transparent and irridescent by unaided eye.
Light emitted from flame becomes so intense it begins to occupy the entire visible spectrum of color.

The Sun, light and optical phenomena fascinate me! I have been observing solar activity since Solar Cycle 23! This is a collection of photos with interesting diffraction, refraction, reflection, eclipses, clouds and beautiful optical phenomena and camera flares visible by naked eye in the forests, woodlands and wetlands of Connecticut and New England, USA during my fieldwork and hikes. All photos were taken with an iPhone.

The colorful halo effect around the Sun was caused by light refracting off ice crystals in the clouds. I was so fascinated by the interesting cloud structures beneath it, I took the Sky photo first and the clouds w/landscape photos afterwards.
