Afterwards

[Tom Dunne]

An apartment in Barcelona.

Excellent Tom. The idea of having such clean lines and blank spaces along with the unmade bed, works well here. As does the empty bed and the hint of, for myself ,occupancy with the wall plug in.

 

[Paul Lange]

I don't know if you are familiar with one of my ongoing projects about hotel rooms? I can only heartily praise photo Tom.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks so much Paul.
I have done a search Paul and found your thread on the Hotel in Azerberjan. And yes, very similar ideas .

Thanks Julian. My own reading of the image is more or less in line with your thinking on it.

From my travels, this is a familiar scene very well executed here Tom. And psycologically the colour blue is normally very pleasing to the eye

I think I should also state my amazement that in the photo 50% of the plug sockets are level and none of them appear to be falling off the walls. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when in a hotel room you pull the plug out and the socket comes with it exposing bare, live wires. Oh the joy!

Yes you did mention small cozy hotels didn't you?

I like this very much Tom for many of the reasons mentioned already plus the 'apparition' on the wall above the bed. And then the title. It adds a slight sense of voyeurism to the scene. After what? Maybe not what might immediately imagine with that ghostly figure present. And what is that plug attached to? Super image with lots of possible stories.
