044 - Cafe Meeting

I watch people when they receive calls, even by landline, and I watch to see who remembers that they have chosen to be with someone physically and those who forget, those who can say no and those who don't, and those that are simply too involved in what they are doing to remember to think about why they are doing it.

What kind of person are you?

This combines two images, each one taken from the two largest malls in Poznan. I only took the overlay one because of the tiype of lights hanging from the ceiling, of a shape I and many other people really like although seemingly impossible to buy in Poland if you do not work for some large design company. We first saw them in Orsay in a delicate pink.

Here they almost form tattoos on Ania's arms.

Taking a picture with a mobile phone was the theme, and only took a bit of fiddly work to both hold my hand and phone in the relevant positions. What I failed completely to do was to get the image off the phone and onto the computer - in the end I had to bluetooth the picture to my wife's phone (which has a bigger, more high resolution screen) and then take a photo of the camera. Compounding the difficulty was the fact that we were just heading off on a long weekend break and I had to do the edit with the only graphics program on my wife's laptop - Microsoft Paint.

Not the best image, but it is the second in a series of using the hand to represent the sun and its rays in a kind of Art Deco style. This theme needs some work, and my hand needs suitable exercise to get all the fingers equally positioned.
