A d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu with the Sushi manhole covers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About 12 years ago near N\u00eemes (F) I photographed the asphalted cobblestone road and two beautiful manhole covers brightly shining in the backlit. I was fascinated by the strong contrasts and deep shadows. In my eyes it was one of my favourite images of all our trip.
But I was alone with my opinion. My wife Arlette called it the “Sushi manhole covers”. What do manhole covers and Sushi have in common?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the original film negative has never been printed – the image is still eagerly waiting for it’s rediscovery in better times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In fact this autumn I spotted two very similar “Sushi manhole covers” while strolling through the old town of Baden (CH). Do manhole covers reincarnate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was glad to have my camera with me. For sure passers-by must have asked themselves: “For God’s sake, what is he photographing?” – Maybe they didn’t recognize the astonishing similarities between the manhole covers and Sushi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably not everyone is equally inspired by those fine modulated gray tones and in strong backlit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by the way, did I already mention that it’s always good to have your camera with you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
