Stepstool
The windows were boarded up, almost all the way to the roof. There was a gap, though, which led me to use one of my favorite photographic techniques: propping the camera on any available level surface and shooting without actually knowing what I was going to get. In this case, as you can see, I got some shelves that are leaning all kinds of ways, one dangling light bulb, and piles of pigeon (or rodent) crap.
And a stepstool that reminded me of one we had when I was a kid.

Good thing the camera wasn’t set on pigeon or rodent crap. Pretty remarkable composition seeing that you weren’t seeing, see?

I got lucky. Twice, I guess. First that the ledge my camera was on was (relatively) clean, and second that the composition happened to work out. Sometimes that happens.

The fact that the composition worked out so close to perfectly is just amazing to me.

I actually enjoy making these kinds of images – I like the surprise of seeing what I couldn’t actually see.
