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.
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.
Please check out my brilliant friend Lindsey Best's photos. There is no one on this Earth like her:

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.
She kneels down,
and from the quietness
of copper
reaches out.
We take that stillness
into ourselves,
and somewhere
deep in the earth
our breath
becomes her city.
If she could speak
this is what
she would say:
Follow that breath.
Home is the journey we make.
This is how the world
knows where we are.
— Ronald Talney, 1985

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'.
