The pp is not inviting at all, but why is it not? It's haunting alright.
And why should the half-figure not distract in this shot?
Why is one choice brilliant, but wouldn't be in so many other images we're accustomed to view?
There are so many things to love about the photo. The most obvious is the chair, which on its own, is captivating. Secondly, the pp is very inviting yet haunting. But I think my most favorite part of the photo is that there is a person standing by the chair. In any other photo, a half-cropped photograph of a person would have been distracting, and yet you managed to make it work. The choice to not include any part of that person's face is brilliant.
I won't be at all surprised when you link to your first formal showing. Your collection of coherent (and very cool) photos is growing quite large and impressive. You Rawk.
