The topic we had to explore in our photography this week was aging. In this photograph, there are several elements that I think indicate age. The burnt candles, old-fashioned glasses, worn case, and yellowing paper all seem to be telling the story of someone who was living there and spent time in that desk. The glasses case is especially telling as the seams are slowly starting to come apart. The glasses themselves are also extremely old fashioned. Aging can sometimes be told by prized possessions gaining wear and tear or holding onto the the relics of a bygone era.
