Timeless design
I would have loved to be a musician, but unfortunately I'm not. As a substitute, I love--need to listen to music a lot. Out of respect for the music I like to listen through an adequate set of speakers. In 1985 my father gave me a set of Rauna Leira II speakers of which one fell over and broke about 18y later. I recently bought a second hand set of these hard to find speakers again.
These are transmission line speakers made out of concrete, and were designed by the Swedish record company Opus 3. To me they are a fantastic example of classic timeless design: where form and function meet.
I though it was appropriate to shoot these using my Minolta XG-M film camera and 50mm Rokkor f/1.7 lens, using available light only.
