This photo is one of many I had taken at these old broken down abandoned factories. As I was walking through the place this chair struck me kind of odd. It was the only thing that appeared to be untouched.

    This has such a cinematic quality to it yet an also subtle mood to it with how the B&W zones from foreground to background. Very well composed and really good shot. Curiously, where were these taken?

    There is a story behind that chair, I wonder who placed it there and sat in it last?
