SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
16 NOVEMBER 2019
MINIMALISM IN STILL LIFE

I have a drawer packed to the brim with all manner of cables, electric plugs, connectors, audio plugs with cables, video plugs with cables, photography cables and connectors etc. etc. etc. I rarely go the drawer and I am reluctant to throw away anything in case it might be needed one day :-)

When I was trying to find something for this week's Challenge I thought I would look in the drawer. And, I found these items that I believe are RCA connectors. They are, apparently, also known as phono connectors or phono plugs. They are used for analog or digital audio or analog video.

I would have liked the plugs to have been quite a bit smaller in the frame. But, I have run out of time :-)

And, for 'Sight and Sound' I figured that any combination of audio and video would work :-) I found audio and video by The Pointer Sisters. Absolutely adore their version of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire" :-) In my opinion a truly sensational performance :-)

Thanks so very much, Katja :-) I keep trying to avoid using the 'Untergrund' but I don't seem to be able to find any alternative :-))) And, this time I did have to give it an extra clean :-)))

My drawer looks the same, Roger, lol.

What a clever subject for our challenge and I see your drainboard is still coming in handy. It just keeps turning out beautiful images. :)

That was a fun performance. Those ladies totally own that song! :D

I know what you mean, Isabel. Some while ago I did try to have a bit of a clear out but there were a few bits I got rid of that I should have kept! :-)
