Re: [MC74 and Friends] theme for next week - ANACHRONISM

 Dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets, and art critic Mr. Kiu ,

I must admit that the whole week, after announcing the theme and seeing Tua^n', TNS, Khanh' Lie^m. Caro, Ktc 's great entries, I was under a lot of pressure to come up with pictures for the theme. I kept walking around many blocks at lunch time, looking up, down, left and right, and saw a lot of reflections and clouds (as you know by now :-)), but nothing for Anachronism.
Finally, I noticed this old wine press displayed in the window of this fancy liquor store on my way to work. So I went back at lunch time and kept trying to take a clear snapshot of it. I must have spent half an hour "loay hoay mai~ kho^ng xong". There was a lot of police keeping security in the area due to the visits of president Obama and other big shots for the opening of the UN General Assembly this week, so this policewoman standing in front of the store could not help but noticing me, and my strange behavior.
Finally, she said to me, "if I were you, I would go in and ask the store owner to let me take a picture of the thing from inside the store. He does not have a lot of business today so he may not mind. There is a lot of glares and you won't be able to avoid them. Don't be shy! you will be standing a long time here, trying to take a good picture of it..."
Well I did not follow her advice, because I did not dare to go in and ask the owner (so*. bi. mang' la\ "vo^ dzuye^n, ngu*o*i\ ta ddang e^' hang\ ma\ con\ hoi? chuye^n. vo*' va^n?")  but I did take my last picture and left quickly, before she had the chance to tell me to get moving.  
So here it is, my first entry for Anachronism

And finally I found some photos from my files for my second entry and my third one, which I hope fit into the theme:
-ads for an exhibition of the Chinese terra cotta soldiers in Montreal which I made into a collage.-an old building from Brussels with a Coca Cola ad.

have a wonderful weekend
