 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

[MC74 and Friends] My last entry for reflections

Dear PNEH friends,

  As we had a heat wave in the bay area at the beginning of this week, I 

headed for the beach and while at the Santa Cruz boardwalk looking for

anachronical characters :-) I caught this reflection in the window of 

some of my favorite summer things ... the beach and the ocean, palm trees,

against some blue/white stripes, skate boards, a Panama hat :-)  Summer

is officially over or is it?  

Cheers,

BT

Dear 2 ba chu blog, fellow PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu, and Forum Friends,

TGIF !  And thank God for the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere.  The hottest recorded summer in Texas (and for a large part of the US) has finally come to an end, although the drought still persists wreaking havoc and long term damages to our land, people, flora and fauna. 

I did find a very dusty and old camera in my son’s closet and thought of the current PNEH theme.  I can’t imagine taking pictures nowadays with this old camera with a roll of film of only 24 exposures, wait a day for the development to discover that possibly none of the pictures are any good, and then how to post the pictures on the blog? Picasa? Make a diaporama? Or even email them? And God forbid, photoshop them… J

Such anachronism and contrast with today’s instant gratification needs !

Enjoy your weekend !

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

[MC74 and Friends] my third entry for REFLECTIONS -Ma^y lang thang

My dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu, and Forum friends,
My third contribution to the theme, also for cloud lovers, with the title borrowed from Quang's comment on my first photo for REFLECTIONS:-)

Dear Tuan & TNS,  your Anachronism theme photo entries are very interesting !!!!

 

Dear MC, BT, BL, Mr Kiu, Hien Lan, B Diep  & all Romantic PNEH friends:

Here are my photos entries for this week theme "Anachronism"....

 

the fist photo was taken @ the old mission of Alhambra in East Los Angeles area

Walking arount this mission, I had the feeling that this mission was inhabited by so many layers, so many ghosts

from many eras combined with the present surrounding areas,

@ the back door laid  the old graveyard decorated with "cold & scary" ancient curving iron forms...

  ( I always get the feel for the different kinds of architecture and the different eras while visiting old, ancient or

historical cities... Don't you? ) 

 

the second photo was @ the renaissance fair in Los Angeles area where I took my kids to sample the foods,

watching old Shakespeare plays & having fun,

it's pretty interesting to listen to people talking with the old English accent all around us...

you could click here to find out about the fair:

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Cheers from Liem

Cher(e)s  2 ba`chu ?  blog et ami(e)s PNEH ,

Ma petite contribution au theme  ANACHRONISM :

En premier , des lampes à petrole qui existent encore dans les campagnes

En deuxieme , ma toute premiere machine à coudre , bien plus efficace que les machines electroniques de nos jours J . De temps en temps il suffit de la huiler un peu à l’aide du petit entonnoir et elle cha.y phon phon .

Amities,

Are they from Mars or was that day Valentine's Day?

Illusive anachronism.
