@Daragh, yes, people still work in film and I have the kit to do my own developing and a bunch of film cameras, but I’ve been too lazy/busy with other things to shoot film for a while.
@Chris – thanks. Long ago I used to do a bit of the same with the aid of my school’s dark room, but getting B&W film was a minor hassle even then. Glad to know the supplies necessary haven’t completely passed into history!
Nothing in a vein similar to the chair; I was at a conference this weekend held at a lodge on Sun Mountain, Winthrop WA. The view out the front door in early morning.

Been looking at photos by Eugene Atget lately? That’s a beautiful piece.

Thanks Donald. I think if I have inspirations (not that I’m worthy) they are André Kertész (b&w) and Saul Leiter (colour)

Ceci n’est pas une chair.

Do you work purely in digital or do prints? Or does anyone even sell B&W film anymore?

Great symmetry–I’m tempted to turn it upside down.

This is dizzying. Really incredible. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Another lovely use of shadows and (high) contrast.

But when we sit, do we rest in the chair above or are we lifted by the chair below?

Is this a statement about empty chairs at the forth-coming tv debates?

Did you arrange the chair like that for the photo, or did you spot the configuration and seek what you could capture in a photo?

@Hickory, it was just sitting like that on the pavement outside an antique shop.
@Daragh Not that hard actually, you can get most stuff from Amazon, or better from somewhere like http://www.ag-photographic.co.uk/
