I love the circular (well, more mobius strip) nature of this particular game of telephone. And then to have included a Sugimoto...I wish I had a prize to offer because this post is full of win.
How's this for strange. A few hours after writing that post I attended a photography talk by Fritz Leidtke at Blue Sky. The first image in his slide show was that exact Sugimoto image. Weirdness.
He's been coming up a lot for me recently. I keep seeing his name in discussions about Gursky's Rhine II, which I think is fair when considering Sugimoto's seascapes. I am most familiar with his seascapes and love them - it's nice to see images like this one of a theater to remind me that his range of subjects is broader than I tend to remember.
