On The Dish

Telescope

This is the surface of the giant Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. Being up there is a totally unique experience; you emerge into the centre of a nearly 80 meter wide bowl where everything is a brilliant white, so much so in fact that the blue sky appears almost black in comparison.

There'll be several more from here in the Science section of the gallery when I have time to update - at the moment I'm in a frenzy of printing and framing ready for the exhibition.

I think there's somehow a connection between doing repetitive tasks like processing film and cutting mats and my sporadic phases of punk / new wave listening, so accordingly the last few weeks it's been almost constant X-Ray Spex, The Slits, and Wire on repeat play...
