this photograph interests me because of the boy in the background. since he is slightly blurred, i get this feeling that hes almost no really there, like hes almost a ghost or something. i think i also think this because i cant see his feet at the bottom. it kind of seems like hes part of the wall. the room setting is also what intrigued me. the room just seems abandoned, and falling apart. it seems lonely, which i think also adds to that feeling of the boy being ghostly. i really like the composition of this, and how it is symmetrical, though one side is darker than the other. i chose this photograph because it shows me a different way to shoot a room, and how the arrangement of the room, or a room itself, can bring across a different type of feeling and mood.
