Ricoh Photo Gallery RING CUBE
RING CUBE was founded in October 2008 and is engaged in activities
supporting the “Candid Photo Culture” which Ricoh defines as the concept of
“walking around with your camera in a light-hearted way, shooting
photographs in a light-hearted way, and valuing and enjoying the
photographs”. The brands of the equipment used to take the photographs
exhibited in the gallery are unspecified. The concept is to plan and
exhibit things that have never been seen or done before. In addition, RING
CUBE looks for people who like photographs or want to enjoy photography who
will join their support staff and become a “Doughnuts member”. It is a
photo gallery that proposes plans thought up by these Doughnuts members and
that can help realize such plans.
