Mich hat der Mehrfachkontrast angesprochen : Schwarz und Gelb, modern und konservativ, geometrisch und natürlich, Mensch und Technik.
I was attracted by the multiple contrast : black and yellow, modern and conservative, geometric and human, man and technology.
Le contraste multiple m'a interpellé : le noir et le jaune, le moderne et le conservateur, le géométrique et l'humain, l'homme et la technique.

The Great Wall of Los Angeles by Judy Baca and SPARC (Social and Public Art Resource Center) commemorate Chavez Ravine and the division of the barrios with freeways. Chavez Ravine was a bucolic Latino community through the 1950s, until the City of Los Angeles forcibly evicted the residents with promises of affordable housing. Mrs. Aurora Archega, whose family had resided in Chavez Ravine for 36 years, refused to leave her home, and was carried out by the police, with all of her belongings, on May 9, 1959, in a scene captured in this classic photograph. She was then jailed for 30 days. The City authorized the sale of Chavez Ravine to the Dodgers for a stadium 50 years ago on October 7, 1957. The Dodgers drowned Chavez Ravine in a sea of asphalt to build Dodger Stadium and a parking lot for 50,000 cars and not a single place for children to play. The Dodgers promised to spend $500,000 on a recreation facility in the area but have never done so. Los Desterrados, the people who lost their homes and way of life at Chavez Ravine, still meet regularly to commemorate the community there. Culture Clash revived the forgotten history of Chavez Ravine in their play of that name, and Ry Cooder in his CD. Read the L.A. Times coverage of the 50th anniversary.

A vibrant protest installation in Copenhagen's Freetown Christiania calls for the legalization of cannabis. The scene features a skeleton mannequin holding a sign that reads "Still Waiting for Legalization" alongside a striking blue-red sign in Danish demanding: “Hjælp Christiania legaliser cannabis” (“Help Christiania legalize cannabis”). The image captures the iconic rebellious spirit and humor deeply rooted in Christiania's countercultural identity.
Chavez Ravine is now the home of Dodger Stadium, which was built for the L.A. baseball team in 1962. In order to clear the land, the city evicted the mostly Mexican residents and buried their once bucolic community under a sea of asphalt, creating the stadium, with parking for 50,000 cars, and not a single place for children to play.

This photograph captures a humorous and surreal moment outside Amalienborg Palace, where a stoic Royal Danish Guard stands on duty.
Two Japan's : The modern and the Traditional- side by side.
This group of tourists had been waiting for the female members of the group to finish their "Maiko henshin" (Maiko transformation, where tourists pay to dress up as maiko and get their picture taken) down the street. As they walked past this young maiko, paying her respects to an older woman at an ochaya, they were so suprised they broke into a chorus of "Are? Honomo da?" (What?! Its a real one!) "Suge-!" (Awesome! Cool! Amazing)
I think it is this juxtoposition of ancient, traditional culture, and ultra-modernity that makes Japan so fascinating.
Such visual contrasts for me - temples with big (often angry looking) idols in the background, while a man is passing by carrying an umbrella of hearts ... #culture-clash #Thailand #docu-style # travels
Time changes everything.......... whether you like it or not. (GETTY IMAGE)
Everything these days are fast and instant! Technology is just amazing.
2 worlds apart......the everyday image of the modern and the old, young and old, new & old...
I love to capture candid moments like this!
I'm back, have a great day/evening everyone :)
Modern society (Coca Cola) versus traditional beliefs (Buddha) ...#culture-clash #Thailand #docu-style # travels
it was a pretty entertaining clash of cultures, but no one got hurt. i've considered tweaking color/brightness, but i like this so much straight out of the camera, i'm afraid i'll just mess it up.

Junkfood vending machine in a historical place in Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain. Spain's South is used to culture clashes: for centuries, Muslim Arabic and Christian Spanish emperors fought over Andalusia. This combination was seen in Córdoba, where you can still visit a Catholic cathedral that was built inside a 1400-year-old mosque, the so-called 'Mezquita'.
Pictured wearing an all over ad for Red Bull's Culture Clash is London United LT94. It is pictured here at Hammersmith Broadway whilst working on Route 9.
No matter how much we advance in time with technology, some old traditional community never changes...

Not sure who this colourful mural is by but it proved a great backdrop for this candid shot, albeit the woman doesn't stand out much thanks to her urban camouflage.
A few more Street Art photos to come before I move on to something else.

Every garment may have a diverse reason; frequently under several ideologies which might even be totally at odds for each other .

While I was walking through the streets of Palma today, I couldn't help but thinking about the deep changes the urban landscape in the city has gone through in the past years. Majorca was once this paradise island with lots of virgin areas and wonderful beaches that in the 60's opened herself to the first arrival of tourism, mainly German and British travelers who came to praise the wonders of the sun and the sea....
50 years later, the island is an over-built, not so virgin anymore (in more than one sense) melting pot of a place, who reluctantly had to open its doors to people from all over the world.... and you know what they say about islanders who have never left their island... they tend to be overprotective, wary of strangers and not very prone to accepting change.
A recent poll I read on the paper last week claimed that 75% of Balearic citizens have a negative opinion on immigration, claiming those who have arrived later to the islands get more jobs and better care by the government.
Needless to say, this troubles and saddens me, as an immigrant myself (living far from home in New York as a foreign citizen without all the possibilities or opportunities, with all the difficulties and worries it carries). These opinions by Balearic people don't differ that much from the ones of the bigots in Texas and many other US cities who claim against giving any rights to immigrants, legal or not.
And then, I stop myself for a second and see examples like this. These Arabic women pushing baby strollers with the "children of tomorrow" in them. These kids probably have been born here, in a place where 75% of the people claim they don't like what they represent... They might have been born in Majorca, and when they go to school they might learn the language, they may learn some traditions and cultural items, and food products, etc. At the same time, they will grow up in a home where very different values and traditions will try to be bestowed upon them by their parents. Who could blame parents who try to keep the little they have left of their origin in a foreign, sometimes hostile land?
These Arabic, Latin, African, Chinese children, in the future, will have been born here... but will they feel FROM here? What will they say they are? Will they ever call themselves Majorcan? Will the next generation of islanders, who grow up in schools besides these newcomers, be more accepting and all together help build a better future for a new society?
One can only hope...

commissioned collage sketch for a short story:
"I flounder between the two countries like a bird without a landing place, struggling to keep afloat in some uncharted area of the Atlantic Ocean."
I got a kick out of the clash of 3rd world and 1st world here. Satellite dishes on a house made of mud, sticks, and scrap metal... It's actually a fairly common sight in rural Venezuela.

This reminded me of our African homes, but worse ... those wires would freak me out. #culture-clash #Thailand #docu-style # travels
This young woman was participating in a International Culture booth for Rotary International at the Cotton District Arts Festival in Starkville, Mississippi. When she thought no one was looking, she was sending text messages on her cell phone.
She would hide the phone when others came near. I had to take this shot from across the street through a heavy crowd so she wouldn't see me taking it and put the phone away.
Her dress was beautiful, I should have asked where she was from (Turkish, maybe?). I loved the contrast of the traditional ethnic dress, the cell phone, and even the sign for San Miguel Beer, which, despite its name is apparently brewed in Hong King by a Philippino company.
From the China's Tibet collection. See the link for all photos and the book.

China's Tibet or Tibet's China? I set out to show the duality of the region in this collection, if there were an overarching theme it would be the clash of the ancient culture of Tibet with the modern Chinese one. The odd visual metaphor always comes in handy for getting a point across and in a place so vastly flambuoyant with such a ubiquitous external influence this had to happen.
I literally ran to the top of the hill to get a shot of this, and that's no mean feat at 4500+m above sea level. You can believe I suffered for my art!
OK, none of these represent my own culture, which is somewhat confused, but I saw these stands at a traditional German cultural event in the heart of Germany; the one in the foreground, with the myriad flags painted along the top of it, was run by a man with a broad Scottish accent :-). See here for my other take on the "Your Culture" theme www.flickr.com/photos/globalnomad01/8921974748/ which hopefully explains why this theme was a bit of a challenge for me, lol.

Culture Clash - a conflict arising from the interaction with different cultural values....
The mask-maker in his workshop with a unfinished mask of Lord Ganesha unknowingly wearing a T-shirt displaying texts of different cultural origin!
Charida............One of the last hamlets of the finest Chhau mask-makers
Chhau is perhaps the oldest masked dance in the world having originated in the soldiers barracks of the past when Rarh (part of Bengal and Bihar state of India) was a mighty military nation. Chhau masks became an indispensable element of Chhau dance. As it is impossible for the artist to show mood variations through facial expressions, the expression in the mask's face is very important to illustrate different moods.
Charida, the village that provides some of the best masks, is near Baghmundi block of Purulia district (West Bengal, India). Around 250 artisans from 60-70 families, mostly belong to the Sutradhar clan, are engaged in making these extraordinarily beautiful masks for generations. The mask-maker needs extremely high artistic perfection and the detailed knowledge of the epic and mythology is also essential to express the shade of a particular character.
The artisans of Charida normally have their workshops in their own houses along the main road for direct trade with customers. They are busy round the year and, practically every house and every member of the household is seen occupied in making masks or assembling decorations for headgears. The masks produced from this village cater the needs of Chhau dance groups of entire Medinipur, Purulia and Bankura districts.
