Fully Furnished

Wonderfully random.

This is very nice. I do like the treatment you have given it alot.

Nice work, Jeff!

Jeff, striking composition with superb finish.

When I leave my carport, I must do so by exiting to the alley behind my house. As I drive down the alley, I always pass this one house with a collection of junk piled up back outside the fence perimeter. I've always marveled at the junk people thorw away, and have taken several images of their discards. I don't know that these are discards, but it has the same feeling to me. Other people's junk is just plain cool. My own, not so much. Good eye.

The lovely shadows from the sheltering tree, the armoire sketch, and chair suggest home interior and lazy front porch watching of passersby. The shadows suggest total comfort. A photograph I love to look at.

Beautiful work, Jeff!

Silky smooth.

Outside interior,,,, pieces of some ones life....I like the light and tree shadow. If the chair is broken and I can not seat on it, I know there is a tree on the other side ;-)) In any event we have a name for the guys that will buy it. It is called " alte zachen" it means in Yiddish old things, and they pass in the streets shounting it....

Interesting composition with a very creative light and shadows management. Very good work Regards

Thanks all for your comments on this shot, random as it is. Like David, I'm often drawn to others' piles of trash, marveling at the beauty contained in the rubble. Unlike David, I'm often without a camera. Donna described my own feeling of this shot, a sense of home, the shadows acting like a warm embrace rather than a menacing intruder. I looked up the Yiddish phrase, Pnina. If I hadn't married and become domesticated, I probably would have become some variation of what you described. I still fondly remember my bachelor pad filth and rubble.

it takes a very good photographer to "make" something worthwhile out of the ordinary and that's exactly what you did.

Like "The Watcher," the original shot was a visual yawn with potential. Thanks.
