I've titled this image "Remembering" It's an image who's final result wasn't entirely planned. I had seen this old broken recliner while driving home a couple days before. I took my dog out for a walk with me as I planned to visit the scene with my camera to make an image of it. When I got there, Abby decided she needed to inspect the chair for herself. I immediately realized the impact this would have on the scene and got off just one shot with her like this before she had moved on and no longer had an interest in the chair.

This image is important to me for the reason that it sparked my interest in the storytelling power of a photograph. From this image came the idea for a full project (which is still ongoing) which I have called Urban Melancholy.
