Empty Chairs

Here's a different take of an image I took last year. Through the miracle that is Photoshop, I decided to take the original colour image and allow only the chair to keep its colour but leave everything else black and white. I think it tends to draw the viewer's eye to the chair itself. Plus, it's such an interesting shade of orange.

The next image was one of my favourites from the Abandoned Asylum set, so I decided to just post the original colour version of it.

And, of course, this next one tends to be the crowd favourite from the set. I titled it, "The Colours of Insanity:"

The best pictures from that series seem to be of empty chairs. I think it tends to show the left-over human side of this place with a bit of lonliness. Former patients - people - used to sit in those chairs. Now it's lonely and serene, yet the insanity remains.

I tend to be drawn to empty chairs in abandoned places. I think that's one of my reoccurring themes. Perhaps I'll get a series of them to put together to show one of these days.

I'll also leave you with this empty chair from another abandoned place:

Or maybe your body is telling you that you just need to sit your a** down once in a while!
