On my FB textures page, I'm hosting a monthly challenge. January's Challenge is to be Inspired by a Song.
Here's my take: Initially, I was leaning toward some different songs, but Thursday, the song "Mad World" by Gary Jules popped up on my Pandora. I was struck by the song's seeming preoccupation with ideas of existentialism / absurdism. This image is based on the first few lyrics in the song:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Textures: Aged from Super Grunge Urban and Mist from Super Grunge Vintage, plus additional hand editing.
If YOU'D like to participate to go to my facebook textures page to get the details. I'm offering two prize packages :)

Jojo was a man with tweed polyester slack and 70's disco era polyvinyl shirt. We called him the Walking Plastic Show, and everybody loved him. Once he showed up in our neighborhood with a junk harmonica he traded with a Traveling Shaman. He played all kinds of weird notes and told us that they were called blues notes. We have never heard of the blues before but we called the sound Chinese Rock and Roll. The notes never made sense to us. But the sound was magical. It made us forget who we were.
The last time I saw Jojo, he was married to Sweet Loretta Mollie who thought she was a woman but she was another man. Jojo told me that he was leaving his wife to sail to Xianggang Guangzhou to become a monk. I have never heard from Jojo again. I would like to think that he is still playing his magic harmonica with those weird notes to the place where he had found peace. Selah.

I have been named one of 5 "Amazing Hipstamatic photographers" by Business Insider, in a group that includes award-winning photojournalist Damon Winter and renowned fashion photographer Ben Watts.
It's not that Hipstamatic is my first app of choice when it comes to my everyday street photography, but I have never understood nor supported the (somehow snotty) backlash of big part of the iPhoneography community against the app, and truth be told, I believe that in the whole debate you can apply the same saying as with the overall "taking pictures with an iPhone" in general: "It's not the tool, but what you do with it". And for certain type of images/situations, Hipstamatic can be a great starting tool that you can build upon using other apps after....
This is one of my most recent Hipstamatic images, taken during a one-day trip to the beach last weekend. I thought it was appropriate to share... especially in lieu of the moon eclipse that's headed our way tomorrow! Hahaha! Are you ready to be rocked in your emotions and energies?

Albert Camus is one of the very well known existentialism-philosophers in France; he wrote a very famous essay on the MYTH OF SISYPHUS: the man, who tried to roll a huge stone up to the top of a hill - and always he saw the stone tumbling down again; nevertheless he always decided to start his efforts immediately again - maybe those farmers have the image of a SISYPHUS too ... - read my daily blog at flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/germany-stereotypes/

Chairil Anwar, an Indonesian poet who I consider as my art teacher in expressing my sense of a media art. I like his writing style that seems wild. He is Indonesian he is called a bitch in his work.
I made a black and white drawing with a pencil on A3 paper
===================================
Chairil Anwar (26 July 1922 – 28 April 1949) was an Indonesian poet and member of the "1945 Generation" of writers. He is estimated to have written 96 works, including 70 individual poems.
Anwar was born and raised in Medan, North Sumatra, before moving to Batavia with his mother in 1940, where he began to enter the local literary circles. After publishing his first poem in 1942, Anwar continued to write. However, his poems were at times censored by the Japanese, then occupying Indonesia. Living rebelliously, Anwar wrote extensively, often about death. He died in Jakarta of an unknown illness.
His work dealt with various themes, including death, individualism, and existentialism, and were often multi-interpretable. Drawing influence from foreign poets, Anwar used everyday language and new syntax to write his poetry, which has been noted as aiding the development of the Indonesian language. His poems were often constructed irregularly, but with individual patterns.
The expired film and used chemicals can sometimes result in beautiful accident.

Figaro had been so busy tending his barbershop that he didn't realize Otto, his canine companion, decided to saunter out on the streets of Seville. Even though the collodion process would not be invented for another century, I was able to go back to 18th century Spain. I was fortunate to bring my French view camera along with me. This was one of the shots I made of Otto during his unsuspecting moment. The man with one wooden leg walking away was a delightful addition to my street image.

Tributo A Eduardo Lourenço 1923 - 2020 / Tribute To Eduardo Lourenço (1923 - 2020) by Daniel Arrhakis (2020)
Eduardo Lourenço de Faria (1923 - 2020 ) nascido em Almeida no distrito da Guarda foi um professor, poeta e filósofo português. Recebeu diversos prémios e condecorações, incluindo o Prémio Camões em 1996. Tem uma biblioteca com o seu nome na Guarda.
Crítico e ensaísta literário, virado predominantemente para a poesia, assinou ensaios polémicos. Indiferente à sucessão de correntes teóricas, e fugindo tanto ao historicismo como a pretensas análises objectivas aproximou-se mais de um existencialismo de Dostoievski, Franz Kafka ou Albert Camus, e de uma modernidade de Fernando Pessoa.
De 2016 a 2020 foi Conselheiro de Estado, por nomeação presidencial.
_______________________________________________
Eduardo Lourenço de Faria (1923 - 2020) born in Almeida in the district of Guarda was a Portuguese teacher, poet and philosopher. He received several awards and decorations, including the Camões Prize in 1996. He has a library with his name in Guarda.
Literary critic and essayist, predominantly turned to poetry, signed controversial essays. Indifferent to the succession of theoretical currents, and escaping both historicism and alleged objective analyzes, it came closer to an existentialism of Dostoievski, Franz Kafka or Albert Camus, and to an modernity of Fernando Pessoa.
From 2016 to 2020 he was Counselor of State, by presidential nomination.

A shot I took at church. She was dressed in her Sunday’s best and I thought she could be somebody from the pre-war era. I love the innocence, the energy and the optimism. The motion blur adds to the universality of the particulars. I must have been thinking of Anne Frank or somebody in that era.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Russian writer you were.
1821 till 1881.
Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.
A must read for everyone.
What is existentialism?
Are you a writer or a psychologist?
No silver spoon in your life.
Exile in Siberia can there be anything worse?
O-yes sentence to death .
Was nothing but a mock execution.
That must of really tormented the soul.
Had to serve in the Siberian Regiment.
Must of been a picnic.
Wink, Wink, Nod.Nod.
Writing about so much suffering,
Had to weigh heavily on the psyche .
The demon of gambling slowly took control.
Until penniless you laid.
Dostoyevsky,Dostoyevsky,
such a writer you were!
Steve.D.Hammond
that you can make is to think you’re alive when really, you’re asleep in life’s waiting room.”
So, I've decided to do (rather attempt) a "Waking Life" mini series. I'm no good with commitment which is why I haven't done a 365 or 52 weeks, but this gives me all the freedom and no real commitment, so I'm down for that. For those of you who don't know, Waking Life is an animated film that takes you through one man's dream as he explores and learns about varying topics like politics and existentialism. Basically, this movie is pure gold and is brilliantly done. If anyone wants to know more about it, you can ask me and I do believe you can watch it on google video. It's really something everyone should see at least once. I'll stop talking about it, because I could go onnn and on.
Question: I'm thinking about getting a Canon AE- 1 which comes with a 50 mm 1.8. For anyone out there that has one or knows, would the lens transfer over to my Rebel XTi? Ooooor does anyone know where to get a cheap 50 1.4 because that's really really what I want. If someone could help me out, I'd be so grateful. Thanks! :)

Once upon a time, I could walk thousands of mile, climb every mountain, and swim in every ocean. I know that sounds like bragging but it's the truth. Or what I seem to recall. These days my mind have been hazzy. How long has it been? I better start taking notes on pieces of paper. Mental notes seem to scatter everywhere that I forget where I put them. Where is my favorite pen? No ink. Darn it. I don't want to use that old typewriter. My fingers don't seem to find the right keys anymore. Coffee makes it worse. Did you come here to take me away? I forgot who you were. Come. Yes. Come. Can I bring Stella with me? You know, Old Stella. She used to sit by my feet during those hot lazy days. I missed her. She was a good dog. Yes. Come. We must go.

“...art wounds as well as delights.
It must, because our defenses
against the truth are wound
so tightly around us.
But as art chips away at our defenses,
it also opens us to healing potentialities
that transcend intellectual games and
ego-preserving strategies.”
― Rollo May, My Quest for Beauty
When i was younger I saw a picture of Jean Paul Sartre and Simone De Beauvoir chatting away in a Paris cafe - as they did! For some reason it has always stuck in my head, and this picture of my two friends really reminds me of it. Not that I agree with existentialism at all!!
We were on our way to St Moritz on a train via Bernini Express. The Jewish Liberace was sitting with me. He had been telling tales of his adventures in Switzerland, and how he and Freddie Mercury went to school together in London. He said that Freddie had been given a traditional Indian burial. I thought he was Persian I told him. He said, yes, yes, quite right, his skin color is lighter. I knew that he would tell things that are incredulous. He said he used to live in Los Angeles and was a hair dresser for some famous Hollywood celebrity. I don't remember her name. Then without missing a beat, he lifted his left cheek and farted next to me. Right then, I knew I had to leave.

Gorgeous French actress Dany Saval (1942) was the lithe and lovely leading lady in both fluffy comedies and thrillers of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Dany Saval was born as Danielle Nadine Suzanne Savalle in 1942 in in a slum area of Paris, France. The Germans had just before released her father, a factory worker, from a prisoner-of-war camp. Dany started her career at 8, as a child-dancer. Later she became a Can-Can girl at the Moulin Rouge. Her first film appearance was a small part in L'eau vive/The Girl and the River (1958, François Villiers) starring Pascale Audret. The film, based on a screenplay by pacifist writer Jean Giono, won a Golden Globe as Best Foreign-Language Film in 1959. She then appeared in the French answer to Rebel Without A Cause, Les Tricheurs/The Cheaters (1958, Marcel Carné), as the fiancée of Pierre Brice. Les Tricheurs tells the story of disaffected Parisian youth who have lost their way in an atmosphere of existentialism, sexual liberation and disrespect for traditional and religious values. On the huge success of Les Tricheurs followed bigger roles in such films as Asphalte/Asphalt (1959, Hervé Bromberger) with Francoise Arnoul, La verte moisson/Green Harvest (1959, François Villiers) and the supernatural thriller Pleins feux sur l'assassin/Spotlight on a Murderer (1961, Georges Franju) starring Pierre Brasseur.
Suddenly one of Disney’s talent scouts saw Dany Saval on a magazine cover and after a screentest Walt Disney signed her to a six-film contract. In her first film, Moon Pilot (1962, James Neilson), she played a mysterious extraterrestrial opposite astronaut Tom Tryon. Hal Erickson of All Movie Guide likes the film: “Moon Pilot is an engaging Disney sci-fi comedy that manages to shoot off a few neat and surprisingly satirical barbs at the hypertense US/Russia ‘space race’ of the era.” On IMDB, reviewer San Diego comments: “Watch it for Dany Saval... (she) makes the film worth watching.” Despite these positive reviews, the film bombed and Dany Saval would make only one more American film. Today she is probably best known as one of the lovely airline stewardesses being shuffled around by Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis in the slapstick comedy Boeing Boeing (1965, John Rich). IMDB reviewer Moonspinner55 writes: “Perky Dany Saval (as ‘Air France’) is the stand-out amongst the lovely ladies, none of whom gets an actual character to play.” In between she appeared in several fluffy French comedies opposite such comedians as Louis de Funès and Darry Cowl. She also appeared opposite Michele Morgan in the crime thriller Constance Aux Enfers/Web of Fear (1964, François Villiers). In 1965 she married distinguished composer Maurice Jarre, with whom she had a daughter, Stéfanie Jarre. She then retired temporarily from the screen to raise her child.
In 1970, Dany Saval made a come-back on TV in the popular comedy series Les saintes chéries/The Sweet Saints starring Micheline Presle. More TV work and films followed. She was the leading lady in the spaghetti western Si può fare... amigo/Saddle Tramps (1972, Maurizio Lucidi) starring Bud Spencer and Jack Palance. In the popular action comedy L’Animal/The Animal (1977, Claude Zidi), she appeared opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo and Raquel Welch. And she played a supporting part in the detective comedy Inspecteur la Bavure/Inspector Blunder (1980, Claude Zidi) starring Coluche and Gérard Dépardieu. Her last (TV) film was La baleine blanche/Children and the White Whale (1987, Jean Kerchbron). Then, Dany Saval retired from the film and entertainment business. She married three times. Her first marriage was with pr-man Roger Chaland in 1958. Her second marriage with Maurice Jarre ended in a divorce in 1967. Since 1973, she is married to host and journalist Michel Drucker, with whom she resides in Paris.

Leconte de Lisle is a statue dedicated to Charles Marie Rene Leconte de Lisle, a French poet and writer.
"The Jardin du Luxembourg (French pronunciation: [ʒaʁdɛ̃ dy lyksɑ̃buːʁ]), also known in English as the Luxembourg Gardens, is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. It covers 23 hectares and is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its circular basin, and picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620. The name Luxembourg comes from the Latin Mons Lucotitius, the name of the hill where the garden is located.
The Luxembourg Palace (French: Palais du Luxembourg, pronounced [pa.lɛ dy lyk.sɑ̃.buːʁ]) is located at 15 Rue de Vaugirard in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It was originally built (1615–1645) to the designs of the French architect Salomon de Brosse to be the royal residence of the regent Marie de' Medici, mother of King Louis XIII. After the Revolution it was refashioned (1799–1805) by Jean Chalgrin into a legislative building and subsequently greatly enlarged and remodeled (1835–1856) by Alphonse de Gisors. Since 1958 it has been the seat of the Senate of the Fifth Republic.
Immediately west of the palace on the Rue de Vaugirard is the Petit Luxembourg, now the residence of the Senate President; and slightly further west, the Musée du Luxembourg, in the former orangery. On the south side of the palace, the formal Luxembourg Garden presents a 25-hectare green parterre of gravel and lawn populated with statues and large basins of water where children sail model boats.
The 6th arrondissement of Paris (VIe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, it is referred to as le sixième.
The arrondissement, called Luxembourg in a reference to the seat of the Senate and its garden, is situated on the Rive Gauche of the River Seine. It includes educational institutions such as the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and the Institut de France, as well as Parisian monuments such as the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, the Pont des Arts, which links the 1st and 6th arrondissements over the Seine, Saint-Germain Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Church.
This central arrondissement, which includes the historic districts of Saint-Germain-des-Prés (surrounding the abbey founded in the 6th century) and Luxembourg (surrounding the Palace and its Gardens), has played a major role throughout Parisian history and is well known for its café culture and the revolutionary intellectualism (existentialism, authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir) and literature (writers Paul Éluard, Boris Vian, Albert Camus and Françoise Sagan) it has hosted.
With its cityscape, intellectual tradition, history, architecture and central location, the arrondissement has long been home to French intelligentsia. It is a major locale for art galleries and fashion stores, as well as Paris's most expensive area. The arrondissement is one of France's richest districts in terms of average income; it is part of Paris Ouest alongside the 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements, as well as the Neuilly-sur-Seine inner suburb. The 6th arrondissement is the smallest in Paris in terms of area covered.
Paris (French pronunciation: [paʁi]) is the capital and most populous city of France, with an estimated population of 2,150,271 residents as of 2020, in an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles). Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, science and arts. The City of Paris is the centre and seat of government of the Île-de-France, or Paris Region, which has an estimated official 2020 population of 12,278,210, or about 18 percent of the population of France. The Paris Region had a GDP of €709 billion ($808 billion) in 2017. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey in 2018, Paris was the second most expensive city in the world, after Singapore, and ahead of Zürich, Hong Kong, Oslo and Geneva. Another source ranked Paris as most expensive, on a par with Singapore and Hong Kong, in 2018.
The city is a major railway, highway and air-transport hub served by two international airports: Paris–Charles de Gaulle (the second busiest airport in Europe) and Paris–Orly. Opened in 1900, the city's subway system, the Paris Métro, serves 5.23 million passengers daily; it is the second busiest metro system in Europe after the Moscow Metro. Gare du Nord is the 24th busiest railway station in the world, but the first located outside Japan, with 262 million passengers in 2015 Paris is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks: the Louvre was the most visited art museum in the world in 2019, with 9.6 million visitors. The Musée d'Orsay, Musée Marmottan Monet, and Musée de l'Orangerie are noted for their collections of French Impressionist art, the Pompidou Centre Musée National d'Art Moderne has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, and the Musée Rodin and Musée Picasso exhibit the works of two noted Parisians. The historical district along the Seine in the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site, and popular landmarks in the city centre included the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, on the Île de la Cité, now closed for renovation after the 15 April 2019 fire. Other popular tourist sites include the Gothic royal chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, also on the Île de la Cité; the Eiffel Tower, constructed for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889; the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, built for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900; the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées, and the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre.
Paris received 38 million visitors in 2019, measured by hotel stays, with the largest numbers of foreign visitors coming from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and China. It was ranked as the second most visited travel destination in the world in 2019, after Bangkok and just ahead of London. The football club Paris Saint-Germain and the rugby union club Stade Français are based in Paris. The 80,000-seat Stade de France, built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is located just north of Paris in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis. Paris hosts the annual French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament on the red clay of Roland Garros. The city hosted the Olympic Games in 1900, 1924 and will host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 1938 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 2007 Rugby World Cup, as well as the 1960, 1984 and 2016 UEFA European Championships were also held in the city. Every July, the Tour de France bicycle race finishes on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
