Given the prompt of trash, I decided I would go to an abandoned house on my street. While exploring I found this chair and speakers. I arranged the speakers around the chair and brought the little side table to match the cabinet. To me, this photo tells the story of a life well lived ending with a comfy chair surrounded by music. It was very fun to be surrounded by items that are seen as trash, but then to push myself to see them as items from someone’s life, and arrange them to tell a story.
To enhance this story I envisioned, in Adobe Photoshop, I added some grain and adjusted the curves to desaturate the white, and saturate all yellow to give it a more old-time feel.
