One Light

Let there be Light

Lighting the way, up the escalators at Ricarton Mall.

When I'm shopping I find malls abominable places. I lose my patience quickly and leave as soon as possible. When I have spare time in one hand and a camera in the other, I'm prepared to linger - for as long as it takes - in the interests of snapping something interesting. I find a good photograph is not always where you expect it to be.

Here's That Light Again...........

Bright Lights

Christchurch. September 2009 Ajr

Internationally acclaimed New Zealand designer, David Trubridge needs no introduction - certainly not on this blog! I have after all, featured his immensely popular lighting design 'Coral/Floral' (and a close 'cousin') more often than is probably decent, in all manner of locations. This is one I snapped when I was out and about walking around the city about ten days ago - the en masse department store approach. www.davidtrubridge.com

Turn Me On

We're back with 'Coral/Floral' the best-selling lightshade by internationally-regarded New Zealand designer, David Trubridge. This fitting has made numerous appearances on this blog - just because I love photographing it in different locations. Click on David's name in the index line below this blog and you'll see some of the other versions I've snapped. www.davidtrubridge.com

The Return of the Light

Auckland. April 2009. Ajr "Coral/Floral" by internationally regarded New Zealand designer, David Trubridge makes yet another appearance in Blogsville! My favourite light fitting - from a photographic point of view at least. I love it for the glorious shadows it casts. You can see a number of variations on this theme by clicking on David Trubridge in the label line below this post. www.davidtrubridge.com

I Can See Clearly

Auckland. April 2009. Ajr And here we are, back with the 'most photographed lighting design in New Zealand' - or so it feels to me. I can't walk past David Trubridge's 'Coral/Floral.' It's become something of a photographic habit. I spied this threesome in lower Queen Street in Auckland - in a 'glass cube of a cafe.' I loved that whole see-through aspect. I meant to go back at night and see if it was open but ran out of time.

The Trubridge Returns

Auckland. April 2009. Ajr Anyone following this blog will be familiar with my rather odd obsession with David Trubridge's lighting designs, especially 'Coral/Floral' and this one ('a similar sister') above, photographed in an Auckland design store recently. While the light itself is nice enough (I'm almost over it), it's the reflections and shadows it casts that interest me more. That's not quite so evident in this shot. Here it was more a case of lovely forms and colours clustered together to make a pleasing chance composition.

Fifties Glamour

Auckland. April 2009. Ajr

The MLC Building (Mutual Life Company) on Queen Street, was the tallest building in Auckland when it opened in 1957. Now it’s home to Scenic Circle’s Airedale Hotel. I paid them a visit a month ago when I was in Auckland and I must say I was very taken with their foyer – the fantastic tiles (original) and the magnificent 1950s light fitting that dominates the space. They don’t build them like they used to! www.scenic-circle.co.nz

Seeing the Light - Again!

High Street, Auckland April 2009 Ajr

I wonder if there has been another lightshade - in recent times - that has soared to the impossibly dizzy heights of popularity afforded 'Coral/Floral' designed by Napier-based New Zealand designer David Trubridge? I don't have one in my house - but I do have dozens of photographs of it in numerous different settings. I quite like that - seeing how it looks in different locations, hung in different ways. You can see my other images of it (and it's close relative) by clicking on 'David Trubridge' in the label line below this post. www.davidtrubridge.com
