Tubular Bells
Strange how words and phrases can stick in your mind and then unexpectedly resurge into consciousness, like dormant magma up a volcanic vent.
Tubular Bells. Had to go to Wikipedia to be reminded that it was the debut album by Mike Oldfield, back in 1973. That was before commercial radio in Italy; at best, then, I may have picked it up on RAI's Radio 2, "Supersonic" was the evening rock program I was glued to as an early teenager. More likely a little later on. Oh man...
Anyways, tubular bells and simple plumbing tubes. Plenty of these to observe, if you care to, when you walk around town in Paris. Black and white gives them a sculptural quality that made them part of my "make a series within 200m from home" workshop task with Patrick. Here’s a few…
All Ricoh GR III, except for the final one, Leica M10 with Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.2 — processed with Capture One.
No worries, I’ll get back to color soon…
