Europe, Netherlands, Noord Holland, Amsterdam, Zuid As, Postmodern entropy (slightly cut from all sides)
Shot somewhere in the ZuidAs quarter. Yes I know, ‘post-modern entropy’ is a pleonasm ;-) And there's ofcourse some neo-modernism goin' on too.
This is number 128 of the Amsterdam and number 317 of the Urban frontiers album.
The Pompidow Centre was inaugurated in January 1977, in Paris.
It's an innovative, risky, striking building that would forever change the landscape of the French capital, and especially that of the Marais district.
Forty-one years later the Pompidou has established itself as the most important modern and contemporary art museum in Europe.
It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture by the architectural team of Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano and Gianfranco Franchini.
habit minus morality is comfortable and easy to do
no one likes the new
not me or you
and so when rulers want to change you
for their good
keep your habits
keep being you.
A Victorian-era postbox - dated 1870.
Playfair Street, 'The Rocks' - Sydney.
This cast iron, red painted, 'pillar box' was made by Triggs & Marr in 1870. It features a letter slot on two sides and a finial of a stylised Waratah (native flower) with embossed Acanthus leaves on top of the box.
Photographed in light rain on Playfair Street near the corner of Mill Lane, in Sydney.
On one of my night-time photography treks around the city and the harbour. On this occasion I had parked the car at Lavender Bay (on the northern side of the harbour) and walked across the harbour bridge, to photograph 'The Rocks' at night.

Find something or someone you love. Think of only this at every protest...what the world would be like without this person is irreconcilable. Fight harder, fight stronger. Fight with the belief that if you can feel love, even our government officials can feel love and be changed for the better. When you are part of something, it is because you care about the world and you are ready to let the world be part of you too.

My very first collaboration with a very special and honorable friend of mine, who has been very supportive and open-minded all the way through the adventure of revelation by photography.
Dedicated to my friends whomever share a dream with the world, or even only with himself/herself.
Een van de zo langzamerhand vaagste begrippen in de architectuur - en niet alleen daar - is de term postmodern oftewel PoMo. De duidelijkste omschrijving is nog wel dat het een reactie is op het modernisme, door verschillende stijlen en stijlperiodes ironisch met elkaar te combineren. Een eeuw eerder heette zo'n grabbelton van stijlen eclecticisme, maar daarbij heette de ironie te ontbreken.
Het stadhuis van Zaandam van architectenbureau Soeters Van Eldonk en het Inntel-hotel (rechts) van Wilfried van Winden zijn in ieder geval voorbeelden van postmoderne architectuur. Geslaagde voorbeelden, vind ik, maar jammer genoeg worden ze inmiddels omringd door een aantal bouwsels van epigonen, waarvoor vooral geldt 'overdaad schaadt'.
A Poem for William Basinski:
William Basinski has probably never worn flip flops
William Basinski can make fireflies dance with abandon
William Basinski only goes shopping in the middle of the night

I don’t need a body anymore.
I only need songs.
William Basinski sings lullabies to piranhas and turns them into goldfish
William Basinski eats words for breakfast
William Basinski doesn’t think about his appendix very often.

The street lights were all on when I biked home because the
City finally paid its electric bill.
William Basinski was a distinguished giraffe in his former life.
William Basinski has extra bones that help him stand so straight.
William Basinski is from another galaxy but still keeps his Southern accent
William Basinski

William Basinski
His heart is too big for his chest.
He makes music so we can finally rest.
William Basinski can hear peaches sigh.
William Basinski has a scarf to keep the world warm
William Basinski is part of our collective consciousness

He gave me a hug once and I liked it.
