AMSTERDAM - Light Festival 2018-2019 - Op een bankje zitten drie figuren naast elkaar, met die typische houding van een smartphonegebruiker: het hoofd gebogen, vingers die typen en een gezicht dat wordt opgelicht door het scherm.
Lichamelijk zijn ze aanwezig maar met hun gedachten zijn ze totaal ergens anders.
Wat dat voor effect op anderen heeft kan je bewust ervaren door zelf even plaats te nemen tussen de figuren van 'Absorbed by Light', ontworpen door de Britse Gali May Lucas en uitgevoerd door de Berlijnse beeldhouwer Karoline Hinz.
Toen ik daar stond te fotograferen, kwam er plots een persoon in mijn beeld...
AMSTERDAM - Light Festival 2018 - Three figures sit next to each other on a bench, displaying the typical characteristics of smartphone users: their heads are bent, fingers typing and swiping, and their faces lit up by their phone screens. While their bodies are physically present, their minds are elsewhere.
You can experience the way this effects others by taking a seat in between the figures of 'Absorbed by Light', designed by the British Gali May Lucas and executed by Berlin-based sculptor Karoline Hinz.
Who hasn't felt like this at least once?
Especially after some abandonment or some estrangement, or simply in a bad day in general... There's nothing worse than feeling like this, especially among people when thoughts start questioning you and everything becomes a huge impassable bubble.
My little dreamers, you sensitive souls who absorb everything like sponges, I am here to remind you that you are not alone. <3

🎶 How to fight loneliness?
Smile all the time
Shine you teeth 'til meaningless
And sharpen them with lies
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness
You laugh at every joke
Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it
Just smile all the time 🎶

AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL - Three figures sit next to each other on a bench, displaying the typical characteristics of smartphone users: their heads are bent, fingers typing and swiping, and their faces lit up by their phone screens. While their bodies are physically present, their minds are elsewhere.
The phone and computer screens that, literally and figuratively, light up our lives are irresistable. We read new messages immediately and want easy access to our social media, useful apps, and browser. Our smartphones are with us all the time – in bed, on the toilet, in the train, at our desk. They are an extension of our contact with our families, friends, and even people on the other side of the world. And as a result, we engage ourselves more with the virtual and superficial reality than with each other and the real world around us, something Lucas makes painfully clear. Actively involving the audience in the ‘story’ is a recurring feature in the work of the British artist, who works in Amsterdam as a graphic designer.
Macro. The straw seems to "absorb" the bubble which is produced by this old lens. A minimalism experiment ... just for fun.

Its just art or whatever
I am going to rename these photos because they are awesome pics. however, the person that is included in them is a lying cheat.. and i pray no woman has a run in with him. he is crazy and self absorbed.
It's great to be totally absorbed in just enjoying a natural event. High water and surging waves over sharp rocks meant an hour sped by. Every shot is different , and the timing was so important, to prevent everything disappearing in a sea of foam. My mind created castles, valleys, waterfalls and cities. City of delusion is a fitting track by Muse

NOMOPHOBIA: Three figures (four in this image) sit next to each other on a bench, displaying the typical characteristics of smartphone users: their heads are bowed, their fingers are typing and swiping, and their faces are illuminated by the screens of their phones. While their bodies are physically present, their minds are elsewhere.
Tres figuras (cuatro en esta imagen) se sientan una al lado de la otra en un banco y muestran las características típicas de los usuarios de teléfonos inteligentes: tienen la cabeza inclinada, los dedos teclean y deslizan el dedo, y sus rostros están iluminados por las pantallas de sus teléfonos. Si bien sus cuerpos están físicamente presentes, sus mentes están en otra parte.

"That swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born."
Vladimir Nabokov
View from the "Facciatone"
In 1339 Siena crossed its moment of maximum splendor and the authorities decided that the already built transept, which is the Duomo that we can admire today, had to be lengthened and enlarged to excess, to give birth to a building with colossal dimensions. The work began and went on for over 18 years. In fact, the project was ambitious, but also very complex to implement. The works were interrupted and resumed several times due to collapses. But the project would have continued despite these difficulties. Then the plague stop the construction, decimated the population and sanctioned the end of the Sienese dream.
After the plague Siena was unable to recover and after a long period of political instability that failed to bring the Republic back to its former glory, blow by blow, battle after battle ended up being absorbed in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
Today, the "Facciatone", the bare façade of the Duomo that was never built, remained of the magnificence and ambitious projects.
People watching outside a Costa in Sandwich, Kent and this guy sat down with his coffee totally absorbed in his book. Couldn’t resist taking the shot.

In Nishi-Nippori, Tokyo.
I have seen the name written both Nishi-Nippori and Nishinippori - it is written 西日暮里 in kanji and it means West Nippori. Nippori was once a village in its own right, and not a part of Tokyo city, and was upgraded to be called a town in 1918. Nippori was absorbed into Tokyo in 1932. In 1966 Nippori was split into West Nippori and East Nippori (Higashi-Nippori).

Got to capture a somewhat rare blue ice phenomenon in the Straits of Mackinac in Northern Michigan.
The blue ice phenomenon was caused by conditions that created dense, bubble-free ice, which absorbs longer wavelengths of light and reflects shorter, blue wavelengths. The specific cause was a persistent arctic cold snap that led to rapid ice formation, creating a large amount of dense ice. This process, also seen in glacial ice, makes the ice appear blue to the eye.
This pileated was absorbed in finding food and didn't seem to mind the birders standing 25 feet away.
It put on a show for about 15 minutes before leaving.
I left with about 250 shots.
Dryocopus pileatus
The Pileated Woodpecker digs characteristically rectangular holes in trees to find ants. These excavations can be so broad and deep that they can cause small trees to break in half.

CUANDO LAS CAMELIAS ABSORBEN TODA LA LUZ BLANQUECINA DE UN NUEVO DÍA.
Espeluznantemente perfecta, no daba crédito, en cuanto la vi me quedé de piedra, posiblemente la mujer más bella del mundo.
Con cierto aturdimiento y el corazón a mil por hora, mi amigo Javier, me presento a su novia.
-¿A qué es guapa Rosario, Alejandro?
-DESPAMPANANTE.
-Ves, Rosario, cuando te digo que mi amigo siempre tiene la palabra precisa.
Nos reímos.
El corazón repiqueteaba debajo de mi camisa, a punto de un infarto inminente.
Tenía algo Rosario.
Sus ojos incandescentes, relampagueantes, abrumadores.
En un momento, a Javier le entró una llamada al móvil y disculpándose se retiró a unos metros.
Aproveché para hablar con Rosario
-¿Qué tal está Javier, Rosario?
-O sea, a ver, Javier, siempre ha sido, una bala perdida, pero ahora está muy centrado, muy responsable y ya no consume cosas raras, vamos, un cielo de hombre, incluso es dicharachero, alegre y muy simpático.
-¡Joer, cómo me alegro!
-Javier te tiene en un pedestal, siempre dice que sin ti no sería nada.
-No le hagas mucho caso, Javier siempre ha sido un poco melodramático.
Dile que me he tenido que marchar por cosas de negocios.
Otro día vengo con tiempo y hablamos largo y tendido.
Una luz cenicienta y verdosa, me acompañó hasta mi barrio.
Regresé a mi casa, completamente aturdido.
Por un breve instante, no pude dejar de pensar en ella.
Y una cosa llevó a la otra, sabía que con Rosario estaría a buen recaudo mi amigo Javier.
Fin.
Y ahora una canción de RÁDIO OCÉANO:
1938 Bugatti Type 57C (for compressor.....supercharger) Aramis Cabriolet 3 seater, designed by Ettore's son, Jean Bugatti and built by Gangloff, one of only 4 he produced. Amazingly all 4 are still alive, and well in the US. Defines Rare and Art Deco Gorgeous in design! Ordered by Dr. Andre Charles Chauvenet who became a very prominent Resistance leader, and amazingly, both he and the car survived the war.
Engine: straight eight, twin overhead camshafts, sixteen valves, 3257cc., 135bhp at 4,500rpm; Gearbox: four-speed manual, center change; Suspension: beam front axle with semi-elliptic springs, live rear axle with reversed quarter-elliptic springs, telescopic shock absorbers front and rear; Brakes: four wheel finned drum brakes with hydraulic actuation. Right hand drive.
Introduced in 1934, the Type 57 Bugatti soon established itself as one of the most desirable high performance touring cars of its period. The ultimate version of this remarkably successful model, the Series II, was introduced in the latter half of 1938, in good time for the 1939 model year. While earlier versions of the model retained the marque's traditional cable brakes and friction shock absorbers the new Series III benefited from the application of more modern hydraulic systems with the fitment of Lockheed-Bugatti brakes and Alinquant telescopic shock absorbers. The engine however was carried over essentially unchanged from the Series II, retaining its flexible chassis mounting in contrast to the rigidly mounted unit of the original version. In consequence later chassis frames were stiffened considerably when compared with the Series I model, principally by the addition of a cruciform center section, and several other minor but significant changes ensured that the car was progressively improved throughout its five-year production run.
The Aravis cabriolet was the fifth and final style of coachwork to be offered by the factory on the Type 57 chassis and did not appear until late 1938 when Series III production was already under way. Officially classified as two to three-seater and with its smoothly elegant lines devoid of running boards, the Aravis is generally acknowledged as having by far the best balanced and most stylish coachwork offered by the factory on its Type 57 model.

The sun must be out, the spring flowers are opening up and are waiting to absorb some more if that warmth.
Her posture and expression including her knitted eyebrow and her fingers etc told us that this reader is totally absorbed and I wonder what book she was reading that was so intriguing...
He was so busy watching something on his screen he did not notice me at all even though I took five separate shots. Stretched out on the ground at the mall.
“Here I came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again like morning. ”
~Pablo Neruda
