To me, the least interesting thing in this photo is the chair - the more interesting aspects are the textures in the wall, the "other thing", what looks like a brick floor & the shadows. What my mind imagines is a surreal film sequence in which someone turns that crank & the chair either lifts slowly into the air or sinks into the floor...

I think the other item is a type of pump - both objects are cool

YUP! Again you make odd stuff look beautiful and a piece of art itself. Love this. Now my head is spinning, thinking what the heck that thing can be used for. Pulling out a tooth? OUCH!

A most appealing image that immediately make me think of whatever connection between the chair and the whachamacallit beside. I imagine a sitting guy rotating the handle and the gimmick producing soft screeching sounds, like a wooden wheel without grease, and that's all. Wonderful!

Hah! I know what that thing is..... It's a do-whacka-do-whacka-do! Roger Miller said so.... 😆

Now that I've got THAT out of my system.... What a wonderful minimalist image this is! It's fascinating in its stark simplicity, and it has just a bit of mystery. I like it!

I am a bit perplexed, what that 'thing' could be and at the same time intrigued and I am going to find out for sure, I just need to know - curiosity gets the better of me !

Nevertheless this image with the chair in 'kinda' sepia !, is wicked, even haunting and thought provoking to say the least - it could mean an adventure into our past 🏚 and has lot's of appeal to me...

you got great comments on this. Again, this is about 'presence'. Something sits somewhere, and suddenly it becomes a 'presence'. It's about its being. Van Gogh painted a chair---nothing special about it, it was old and beat up---but he painted it and it suddenly became a Presence, a power. This chair and object are powers. Strange ones. They speak to us but they're very private. We're not 'let in' all the way, we have to view them from an emotional distance. And your treatment brings out the mysteries of this scene, and its grime, the lines in the floor (looks like brick), and the warehouse-like textures of the wall. The grime on the left side is sublimely dark and smudgy; and the light on the right side brings out that great light splotch, which has as much presence as anything else. Your grain enhances the mystery of it all. All and all, this is one of your best object shots in a long time (out of many terrific object shots, mind you). Mystery, mood, intense privacy, a veil of impenetrability, with grit, age and time. Terrific, Tara.

The "mysterious object"? I could do 20 or 30 bad jokes (you already got some funny ones above); but my serious guess is a surveying plumb line. I saw them years back, from a friend who worked with plumb lines. The old ones online don't look quite like this, but they all have tri- or quadra-pod legs, they all have a circular container for the 'line'; they all have a crank of some kind to uncoil the line; they all have a weight at the end of the line---usually lead (plumbum, Latin); and some have gear on top for surveying or measuring. That's my guess. (You probably know this, but "plumber" comes from "plumbum," for lead; as pipes were lead, and of course they used lead weights to plumb pipes and holes. "Plumbing the depths".) Since this is a pump museum, this would be my guess...I just started commenting, and now I have to stop because it's late! I'll be back to your last beauty (and I'll be visiting other galleries this week too). Love what you've been posting of late! And I'll catch up with you soon too.

Most people would think this is nothing and pass on. But you have the ability to these things and capture them. For all I know this could be painted by someone famous and fetch a million bucks. The fact that it is in B & W enhances it!
