Wskaźnik pogody Na tablicy wymienione są różne stany kamienia, każdy odpowiadający określonym warunkom pogodowym. Obejmują one: “kamień jest mokry - pada deszcz”, “kamień jest suchy - nie pada”, “cień na ziemi - jest słonecznie”, “biało na górze kamienia - pada śnieg”, “nie widać kamienia - jest mgła”, “kamień się kołysze - jest wietrznie” i “kamienia nie ma - jest huragan”.
Szkocka pogoda jest przysłowiowa. Ale dla mnie po prostu super. Podobno mam we krwi geny wikingów. Niestety, mieszkam na Mazowszu i morzem mogę się delektować tylko w wakacje. Stąd ta Szkocja w moich tęsknych wspomnieniach.
This little market, Homegrown Food, in my hometown of Springfield, Missouri, is one of the first “organic” groceries to appear in our Midwestern town and is evidence of the rebirth of the small neighborhood grocery store that has taken hold nationwide. It is one of the many signs of our changing landscape, and the new state of health consciousness that has emerged in our country. But conflicting messages still abound in regard to the health conscious and the hip, and so I decided to have fun with this idea when I saw one of the workers outside smoking one day. The setting … with it’s striped awning, and the various figures and angles, and the construction workers nearby, reminded me of Balthus’ famous painting “The Street,” and so I decided to reference it as a way of enhancing or exaggerating the scene.— Julie Blackmon
Camel Coats, New York City (1975) illustrates Meyerowitz’s ability to combine his ‘caught moment’ aesthetic with a more thoughtful approach to colour photography. The photograph shares the qualities of a film still, capturing busy life on the streets of New York, yet in a meditative, considered fashion. Commuters are pictured navigating their way through a cloud of smoke which hovers theatrically over the pavement. The image’s overall tonality and details such as the perfectly placed shadows of passersby on the backs of others, suggests a thoughtful attention to detail. The photograph appears simultaneously orchestrated and in motion. -- Flora Miller, Huxley Parlour
