Distorted Angles

I had previously posted a picture of this chair from the rectory in Boston. But I also liked this one for the awkward angles, and how the ceiling seemed to go on forever. So here it is! shot with a canon EOS 3 at 17mm on fuji reala 100 film. Scanned on a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000.

Love the angle and the light here.. and I guess there's a ghost sitting in the chair and looking outside the window.. and maybe when you took the shot he said "oh, I heard something.. who's there?"

Love the light and subtle color and the angle, but most of all one senses a human presence which is too often missing from the photos of abandoned places.

Very interesting shot! The light is really, really nice!

oh man! pity the dude that spends the day sitting in that seat ... or worse ... spends the night!

I really like the atmosphere of your pictures ; nice work on the lights and composition.

Wow really spooky seeing that chair by the window. It makes it seem like someone still lives there and sits on that chair to look outside. A very depressing looking place but a great photo.

Looks like a really nice spot to sit, used to. I love the texture displayed here. A bit sad, I don't know why.
