I love photographing these kinds of details out on the streets. The details that make a city. Such things give a city a sense of character and life. This has probably been a well loved armchair, now left out on the side of the street to be collected as rubbish. Some might think it makes the street look scruffy, especially for those who live there, but for me it’s gold dust. It’s the kind of stuff that made images produced by the master photographers great; that level of ‘character’ that doesn’t really exist anymore in cities due to better economic wealth, stability, and eventual gentrification, which usually means cleaning the rubbish off the streets.

That’s a lovely shot, honey. Great light and color balance as well. You made it look good enough that the people would probably regret trashing it.

I read somewhere in the last few days that the woman in the “iconic Times Square shot at the end of WW2” died recently, and vaguely wonder if Bill didn’t do a post on that snap? Or am this ol’ dog getting a bit mefuddled? (If it was the same damsel, of course.)

Bill did indeed do a post about it. You can find the link to the post on the footer of my blog post here. I haven’t read his post myself yet, been mucking about trying to find a half decent theme for this here photo blog. Finally settled on something I mostly like…!

Reminds of The Big Bang Theory episode where Penny finds a similar easy chair on the street and pays a homeless guy ten bucks to bring it up to her flat, only to discover there was a rat living in it! 🙂
Oh, and a lovely shot too, M.

Not sure I’ve seen that episode. You don’t often see furniture out on the street for collection anymore. Mind you, maybe here in the U.S. things are different. The local refuse collection service seem to take anything, no matter the size. We got rid of two double beds along with the usual household rubbish. The bin men in the U.K. would have had a hissy fit!

If we ever need to get rid of pretty much anything all we have to do is put is on the pavement outside our front wall.
