Filosofie van op de hoek van Rudi's wijsheidsstraatje: Nr. 10

Look at it from the other side...

Now that a lot of possibilities have been added to this platform, I would like to launch my new project. A project that revolves around photography. I've been walking around with the idea of organizing a digital exhibition titled: “Look at it from the other side...” - My idea about this is to use utensils, pieces of furniture, sculptures, paintings,... so you can see them from a different perspective. Do you always look at a beautiful painting, photograph the back or have a nice chair in your home, take a picture of the bottom...  Everyone can participate, but remember that only the best photos will be rewarded and eventually admitted to the final digital exhibition that will be organized later this year. I've taken some pictures myself so you can get an idea of what I mean right now.. Every week I want to attach a theme to it so if you want to participate in this, be sure to stick to the theme of the week. If you want to participate in this challenge, please let us know in the comments, you will also receive the correct theme every week in a private message. Saturday 1 May 2021 we will start and so you will have a week to post your ultimate photo. Every following Saturday, the new theme is presented. Remember that only quality photos can get a place in the exhibition. The conditions are simple: Your picture should be square She must meet the theme of the week With your photo you participate in the pool #fromtheotherside Of course, you must have taken the photo yourself (so no existing photos from a free site) If your photo is awarded the quality label, you give permission to use your photo in the final digital exhibition. It goes without saying that your name as a maker is included in your photo. Quality is more important than quantity but you can participate with multiple photos per theme. Personal boosters will be distributed among the quality entries. Abuse of the pool will be reported and further participation in the challenge will then be discontinued. If you want to participate in this challenge, please leave a message in the comments. Sharing is allowed and a heart is fun. #Challenge #fromtheotherside  #photography #match #contest #missustip #art #photo #photoart

How did COVID-19 measures in your country affect you?

To me the entrance of COVID impacted me on different areas. It introduced fear in my life, but also a bit of discipline. It made me care about washing my hands, while I never did. But it also made me jumpy whenever I see someone cough or sneeze without covering their mouth, while that never bothered me before. But what impacted me the most is how my country handled COVID and the measures they took in order to contain it. We went on a partial lockdown, which caused more damage than good. At first it seemed as if a lot of people were still allowed to do everything they wanted, while small businesses were the ones who suffered the downfall. This caused the amount of cases to rise drastically. After the amount of cases rose to a worrying extent, finally we decided to introduce a curfew and temporary closure of a lot of restaurants and stores. I would not say that it was too late, but since a lot of small stores already had to declare themselves bankrupt because of the partial lockdown, it felt like this could've been prevented. The impact the measures had on my life: A lot of my favourite stores closed down. That means i won't be able to return to them after Covid.I was forced to face my anxiety for showing my face on camera. Because working at home means using a webcam and maybe potential embarrassing moments. this has made me more assertive.I lost a lot of friends. I am not very good with things like chatting and long distance friendships. They water down very quickly.I became more introverted. I did not know I could become more introverted than I already was and became to enjoy the non-social situation more...I gained weight. I think a lot of us did. I never realised how much impact biking to work and walking to town had on my health and weight. As soon as I stopped doing that, it became very difficult to keep a fit bodyI became obsessed with skincare. Somehow being inside made it easier for me to take care of myself. My skin has never looked better. #qa #witty Photo: Caniceus on PixabayHow did the measures from your country affect your career, yourself and your future? -
