Hello MC, Tuan, TNS, KL, TH and friends
I have enjoyed viewing your different interpretations of the Anachronism theme, well done!
Have been traveling in Europe and in meetings all day, so I did not have the chance to walk around to scout for anachronism subjects, but I hope that these photos taken the last couple of days, walking to dinner in Cannes would blend in the theme!!!
The first picture is of this season show window of Louis Vuitton on La Croisette featuring a vintage style dress against a background of little retro chambermaids...
The 2nd picture is oil portraits of Brigitte Bardot and Mick Jagger in their heyday by a street artist
The third taken last night is of a facade with a quaint trompe l'oeil painting of an old building with its inhabitants...
Cheers
Caro
Hello Caro,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your contributions. I love all your entries. They illustrate really well the theme and are beautiful. I love the shadow/light contrast, the soft lighting and the brown color scheme in the Vuitton and the BB/MJ photos; they project a vintage and sort of romantic feeling.
The trompe oeil on the old building captured in your third one is so interesting.
MC
Hello Caro
ReplyDeleteTaking the definition of the theme, Anachronism, to new, further heights
3 great, fascinating pictures to showcase its intrinsic beauty
With old becoming new again, thrust into the glamorous spotlight, under the dimly lit lights,
a stylish, vintage dress finding a renaissance moment, in a modern day setting
The rare, unusual sightings of Bardot, Jagger in their famed, signature looks,
the ever lasting, iconic figures, the permanent fixtures of our pop culture,
enjoying their glory pasts, notable eras now long gone,
but, still, certainly vibrantly alive in our nostalgic minds
A quaint, yet fashionably dressed facade, artistically decorated
a strangely fanciful mixture, a thrilling juxtaposition of fantasy /reality,
all combined in one, in the city that thrives on fulfilling aspiring dreams,
the pursuit of imaginations
