Ventured out on the train from Crewe to Manchester to trade in some Canon gear that I rarely use. Left the gear with Wex and they'll be sizing it up and completing the trade-in over the next couple of days - there was only one person in the shop and he had to keep locking and unlocking the door, poor lad. Then I went off on an all too rare street photography binge, which took in this fantastic mural of Joy Division's Ian Curtis on Port Street car park.
I'll be absent for a week or so, so this is an early submission to music monday for next week.
heart and soul by Joy Division
Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

First in line on a wave of new experiments:
Test spray of a single layer stencil with freehand spitting and minimal hand finishing.

"Confusion in her eyes that says it all... SHE'S LOST CONTROL..."
Kewpie's snoozy time ;)
Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.
Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.
People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away, in silence,
Don't walk away.
Love will tear us apart - Joy Division
Nel Cimitero di Staglieno, a Genova, mi ha molto colpito la verosimiglianza e naturalezza di questo angelo disteso sull'arca della tomba della famiglia Ribaudo. Il monumento, di concezione simbolista, si trova nel porticato semicircolare del cimitero, e fu edificato nel 1910, su progetto di Onorato Toso, autore, tra l’altro, del pulpito del Santuario di Nostra Signora della Misericordia di Savona.
Ma questo angelo disteso sulla tomba Ribaudo mi ha ulteriormente impressionato per i fatti successi circa 70 anni dopo la sua realizzazione. Nel 1980 infatti questa immagine fu utilizzata per illustrare la copertina di un celebre disco, il singolo “Love Will Tear Us Apart” della band post-punk britannica Joy Division. Pochi mesi dopo la pubblicazione del disco il leader dei Joy Division, Ian Curtis, si suicidò.
Gli ultimi versi della canzone (il cui titolo è anche l’epitaffio inciso sulla tomba di Ian Curtis), sembrano recitati dall’ inconsolabile angelo: «Piangi nel sonno / tutti i miei fallimenti esibiti […] / mentre la disperazione mi consuma…».

Another frame from that expired roll of HP5+ (exp: Feb 2014). If I had used Tri-X as I usually do, I wouldn't have gotten this funky and murky look, that reminds me of Anton Corbijn.

"This is a crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
Wondering what will come next
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much
Without the protection and infancy's guard
It all falls apart at first touch
Watching the reel as it comes to a close
Brutally taking its time
People who change for no reason at all
It's happening all of the time
Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties, when all's said
and done
I know that I'll lose every time
Moving along in our God given ways
Safety is sat by the fire
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
Left with a mark on the door
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach
Or pass through the desserts and wastelands once more
And watch as they drop by the beach
This is the crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Turning around to the next set of lives
Wondering what will come next. "

Oh Ill break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, its got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.
The shadow that stood by the side of the road
always reminds me of you.
How can I find the right way to control,
all the conflict inside, all the problems beside
as the questions arise, and the answer don't fit
into my way of things
into my way of things.
L'ombra che stava sul lato della strada
mi faceva sempre ricordare di te.
Come posso trovare il giusto modo di controllare
tutti i conflitti interiori, tutti i problemi circostanti
mentre sorgono le domande e le risposte sono inadeguate
nella mia situazione
nella mia situazione.
(ICB)

When the routine bites hard and ambitions are low,
& the resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow,
& we're changing our ways, taking different roads,
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Joy Division <3
