The light difference between the room and outside on that very bright sunny day some years ago, made me think of an exposure that makes the outer world look as if being under some kind of radiation - much like end of times. Any comments would be very welcome.
I am really glad that you refer to those people far away from hollywood glare! They are simply brilliant! (And I dodn't know if I fit into that category! ;-))
Sin dudas que no...por mi parte me inclino por el grande de Kubrick y su 2001 a space odyssey o Blade Runner sobre el cuento de Philip K. Dick, o Borges, Lem, Asimov, Bradbury, Cortazar, Lovecraft, Poe... y tantos otros...
After such a long discussion, the people are gone, the glasses are empty, the sun comes up, you don't really know if you are tires, and the only thing alive is the incence stick.. But it was of no real use either! ;-)
Oops, I have a great mind, Linda? Well, thanks a lot for that, but could somebody help me finding out where the hell I dig that? :-D
Too much of that norming and regulation tends to turn the world to some kind of a categorized sanitarium of insanity, but most of the time it is just *we* that take that for the sake of too much fear. Ooh, what would happen, if we don't follow, and you know the job, and the money, and the security, etc, etc, etc. So, there's not really much space then for the so called "freedom for developing the own person", though the western world sings that song since a couple of decades. I only see a normed set of people that are still very symopathetic to me, but believes too quickly any kind of "necessities" as they are brought to us by the CNN. And if they say so, it must be true, ey? ;-)
Hi Jen and thanks a lot for the comment. Well, it's not about lifestyle, since that was my own home and I never cared about having any kind of life style between books, records, half finished experiments, pipes, calculators, amplifiers, whisky bottles, and the rest of the good things in life. But perhaps chaos is also a lifestyle, who knows?
I remember the interior of my Aunt's home back in the 70s. I always found that awful to look, but it had a very strong own character. All those oranges and red and enormous flower patterns all over the place. Fantastically awful, I would say. ;-)
As about LPs, well, the CD tends to be a dull thing that trivializes a lot of hard hard work that has been done into some kind of very strict norms. It has its own benefits and advantages, but especially for a live perception of music I still use the LPs. Thanks heavens they are still produced though the labels killed them out of purely strategic/economic reasons.
I am very glad that you mentioned the cluttered table, Dave! For me it is the result of the long discussion that has been before and now is at an end. What remains after much talk that doesn't change anything, if you like.
You have a great mind Nick, I can see what you mean by your words and your image...and it just goes to show that we have to open our minds and being willing to see through the eyes of others and not get bogged down with rules, norms, inuendos, rights, wrongs, regulation....:) :)
And now you're image, I like the rich dark tones and the mood. The overblown area is balance with the contrasting dark. Very interesting thoughts, they are what makes the image! :) :)
Very well captured lifestyle Nick, this reminds me of the 70's, when I was young, having these smelling sticks, brown walls and orange carpets...not the worst time of my life..thanks for bringing back these memories..:) Even see the LP's standing..I still have some!! The 'smokey' dark look fits well in here I think, regards Jen
I like the way you've caught the smoke streaming up and catching the light, Nick! The natural light coming in from the window over the cluttered desk with the coffee cups and papers is very good. Dave.
