Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. The last time I will post about ‘time’.
At the Breestraat in Leiden, one can see an example of a shop front that has been brought back to its old look from years ago. They call it retro. Beautiful.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time.
One of the most heard excuses for having a drink is connected to time. ‘I never drink before 10 pm, but somewhere in the world it is 10 pm’. Cheers.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is how fast or how slow it is.
One common misunderstanding about time is that it can fly. It does not. It is us being mesmerized how a certain amount of time goes faster in specific situations. Eg when you are on holiday, or having a great 😊 time. Each second, minute, hour, day is exactly the same as it ever was. Sometimes time seems to go slower too! Again, a misconception. But what is the figurative opposite of flying? In most of those moments I do wish time could fly.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is change. In time society changes in most cases. These changes can be political (eg equal voting rights), economical (eg equal pay for men and women) or social (eg inclusion). But of course there are more emancipatory changes possible and needed.

One of the best musical stories about time is by Pink Floyd: Time of the brilliant timeless album The Dark Side of the Moon, that was released 50 years ago.
This week I try to show aspects that come to my mind. The first is history at present. Places where important moments in time happened. Which you observe from the present.
This is a recent sunset over the Galgewater in Leiden. ‘Where? Why? Of what importance?’ I hear you say. At the bridge on the left side of the frame Rembrandt van Rijn was born. A copy of the mill his father used for his business is on the right. The only thing Rembrandt would have seen is the sunset, and the mills. All the buildings and boats etc are ‘after Rembrandt’.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #265 is ‘Black and White or Monochrome’. I love working in non color. I am not interested if it is black and white and grey tones or a one color/tone photo.
So here a photo that might be black and white and monochrome.
I developed my skill to identify a good monochrome or black and white photo when I still used film. Translating colors into grey tones is important. If you do not ‘see’ it immediately then see if your camera or phone has a black and white setting. Contrary to an old analogue camera your tests are free and you can see the result immediately. I prefer to shoot in black and white , not in color. Either by using the ‘mono’ setting of my iPhone, or an app like Blackie or Lenka.

The Netherlands, Langbroek – July 2023
Kasteel Sandenburg in Langbroek. An old estate in the center of The Netherlands. Lovingly nicknamed the sugar cake. I wonder why.

Swallows in the sky, reminding of an old song made very popular by Joan Baez but in its origin it is a yiddish folk song.
