A few week's back the theme for the Crazy Tuesday group was "What Is It?" I was going to make a very small macro image using this speaker but it didn't do it for me. I kept looking at the speaker and the lighting, which was just ambient light making it's way into our living room. I started to think about squared circles and figured a speaker has to be a no-brainer for that format and that it would look pretty cool. I also wanted to shoot it as a focus stack to really get the detail of the full speaker. This shot is the result, a 15 layer stack that IMO is one of the best I've been able to produce. It then became the main subject of my amusement for other images as is often the case!

I've had these speakers on the wall for about twenty years now and I'm not about to take them down as they still work and I'm too lazy to spend time filling in all the holes and redecorating! Uploaded for Macro Mondays "Sound" theme and cropped to a square (more or less) to keep within the 3 inch rule.

Negative is a bit light struck to the right, but I think it just adds to the general gloom :).
Together with my Newform Reasearch ribbon speaker it provides a beautiful musical reproduction from classic to rock.

“On the evening of May 4, 1886, a tragedy of international significance unfolded in Chicago’s Haymarket produce district. An outdoor meeting had been hastily organized by anarchist activists to protest the violent death of workers during a labor lockout the previous day in another area of the city.
Spectators gathered in the street as speakers addressed political, social and labor issues from atop a freight wagon from the adjacent factory. When approximately 175 policemen approached with an order to disperse the meeting, a dynamite bomb was thrown into their ranks.
The identity and affiliation of the person who threw the bomb have never been determined; this anonymous act had many victims. From the blast and panic that followed, seven policemen and at least four civilian bystanders lost their lives, but the victims of the incident were not limited to those who died as a direct result of the bombing. In the aftermath, those who organized and spoke at the meeting – and others who held unpopular political viewpoints – were arrested, unfairly tried and, in some cases, sentenced to death even though none could be tied to the bombing itself.
Meeting organizers George Engel and Adolf Fisher along with speakers August Spies and Albert Parsons were put to death by hanging. Activist Louis Lingg died violently in jail prior to his scheduled execution. Meeting speaker Samuel Fielden, and activists Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab were sentenced to prison, but later pardoned in 1893 bu Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld, citing the injustices of their trial.
Over the years, the site of the Haymarket bombing has become a powerful symbol for a diverse cross-section of people, ideals and movements. Its significance touches on the issues of free speech, the right of public assembly, organized labor, the fight for the eight hour work day, law enforcement, justice, anarchy and the right of every human being to pursue an equitable and prosperous life. For all, it is a poignant lesson in the rewards and consequences inherent in such human pursuits..”
In the city centre is this impressive Speakers' Corner, erected in 2009. Around the outside it quotes from Samuel Johnson: 'In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it'. That certainly seems as true today as when he first said (or wrote) it, and truth currently appears to be in short supply.

Wesentlich interessanter anzuschauen wäre vielleicht, wie ich damals während meines Zivildienstes Frühjahr 2004 das 19kg schwere Paket der Anlage aus dem MakroMarkt Stuttgart Innenstadt ohne Auto per S-Bahn und zu Fuß zur S-Bahn Haltestelle, in die überfüllte S-Bahn (der VfB spielte an dem Samstag zuhause) nach Bahnhof Bad-Cannstatt, vom Bahnhof durch die Cannstatter Fußgängerzone zu meiner Wohnung schleppte.
Bedauerlicherweise wurde das nicht fotografisch dokumentiert!
