a person who lights a lamp

in london uk、Regarding the proposal to replace street lights from gas lights to electric lights、An article about a campaign that should be preserved、Saw it on BBC World News。Converting 275 old gas lamps in London's West End (Westminster City?) to electricity、A story about replacing the 30 lights that have already been replaced with LED lights。

mary poppins、It takes us back to the world of My Fair Lady and Sherlock Holmes.、It is said that it is part of the "fabric" that is London.、Some “very” opinions are also introduced.、The authorities also try not to spoil the atmosphere.、It seems that they are trying to appeal to the ``gaslighting effect''.。There are also photos of "gas lamps" that have already been replaced with LEDs.、Since I don't know the origin, I have no specifications for judgment.。
Apparently there are over 15,000 streetlights in London.、The old man whose job was to turn on the gas lamp every evening is finally retiring.、I remembered seeing another article quite a while ago called。That too、It feels very “British”、That was a good article。

Because it's BBC、Above all, photos、The images are beautiful (by the way, National Geo also has them for the same reason)、I've been subscribing for decades now)。The facial expressions of the people reflected there are also amazing.。Even if you can't read English articles、Even if you can't hear the interview at all、I feel healed just by looking at it。
Although England is an old country、It is also a country of new ideas that create the beginnings of world trends.。For example, pop art, rock and roll, etc.、The depth of history and the way it overlaps with the lives and ideas lived there.、I feel something similar and different from Japan, which also has a long history.。There may be a side where you only see the superficial beauty from the outside, but、Similarly, if we take up preservation campaigns,、To the Japanese media, which only wants to report it as a “protest movement”、An old man lights a lamp one by one.、I don't think you can show the ``human face''、That's what I think (I'd like to post a photo)、(Not possible due to rights)。

shadow

From the video being edited "Drawing a climbing rose"

There is a word called "casting a shadow"。when writing in letters、I don't send "shade"。“Yin” is the sun(Hinata)against、A word that refers to the side that doesn't get sunlight.、It doesn't have a shape in the first place。Since it can only be visualized indirectly, there is no way it will fall.。

on the other hand、A “shadow” is an object illuminated by light.、( on the dark side)A visual “projection” of that form.、Literally, something that was “thrown out = fell down.”。period、The shape changes depending on the time。The difference between shadow and shade。

「(war is)Expressions like ``cast a shadow on your life''、It's a metaphor that has the "feel" of both.、As a practical matter, in the upcoming Ukraine war,、Of course the people of Ukraine、Russian civilians who were sent to war as soldiers、I wonder how that family feels。If you look at YouTube etc.、Even if I understand your sympathy for Ukraine,、Many treat Russian soldiers as if they were "less than insects."。As was the case with many Japanese soldiers who were drafted from rural areas during previous wars.、I don't think each of them picked up a gun with the intention of killing Ukrainians.。We cannot overlook the massacres in Bucha, etc.、That view also、Perhaps it's because war casts a shadow on our hearts.。

Including “health”、Everything casts a shadow on our lives。without realizing it、Or, even though they are aware of it, their daily actions are based on them.(Seichu)have been。Sometimes there is nothing you can do、You may be able to change by noticing。stop、Sometimes it may be necessary to see your own shadow。

Phase change - painting is not finished yet

I will post three of the same hydrangea prototypes.。1 from the top、２、I'll call it 3、Each drawing is slightly different。3Same paper for both sheets、The photos were supposed to be taken under the same lighting conditions.、For some reason, only the first sheet has a different color of paper.。certainly、The color of the flower is also 2，It should be different from 3。I wonder why?。

1 is mainly a drawing。2 is mainly based on color、Or rather, there are almost no drawings.。3 is almost in between。Looking at it this way, what I feel is the most "painterly" is 2.。Apart from the "plant species" called hydrangea、Because there is a strong degree of "model-oriented" focus on color (including brightness and darkness) and form.。I guess it's a hydrangea because it's lined up.、If you look at 2 alone, it would be 50/50 whether or not it would be recognized as a hydrangea.。If you press one more step、No one will be able to immediately identify it as a hydrangea.。

This is how I feel (currently)、Each person who sees it can feel it as they see fit.。However、Even in that case、Analytical distinctions like those mentioned above (1 is a drawing) must be made (the analytical factors can be set freely by each individual).。because、That's because that's the way you look at things.。The more original the factor is, the more、I think it means that you have a unique perspective (analytical ability).。In this case, it can be said to be an individual filter.、Even with a sieve、Even if you say it with colored glasses, the content remains the same.。

same motif、For example, if you try creating something by changing the expression like this,、It becomes an effective process to deepen the quality of painting.。Not expression (law)、Changing the idea has also been practiced for a long time (in painting, this is called phase transformation/variation).。(I wonder if musical “variations” also mean the same thing.)。
In painting, the motif is ``what to draw?''、There was once (apparently) a debate over ``how to draw'' that centered on concept and expression.。I'm from the next generation、Apart from the concept of the time、When I was young, I thought that ``what to draw = the theme'' was important.。At the time, I believed that paintings still had the power to convey social messages.。
now? -I believe that the ``historical life of painting'' has already run out.、I think that。But at the same time、I also think that painting is not finished yet (afterglow?)。I will omit the explanation、I think that's the difference between humans and AI or robots.、I guess I'll just say。
