I find myself looking mostly at the wall color, and wondering what kind of votes it would get.

You and me, both.

I'd also gotten as far as wondering when someone would suggest that the look was nicely minimal, yet somehow seemed "dated."

Heh. We're warped.

Oh, sure, no boot-wearing naked ice dancers and your thoughts drift elsewhere.

The TV stand looks like a tea tray pressed into service. (So maybe if you search for one of those.)

Patrick--hah!

I like this. It makes me imagine what is going on, what sort of man is in the picture, what his life is like, what he's thinking, why he's tired. The room tells a story as well. Compared to other pictures in the series, this, IMHO, is art, or at least art-sy.

I think the whole look is depressing. Maybe because there's a windswept rain outside and it still looks dark out, as i glance out the window. I don't see that photo as minimalism, it looks like a half hearted attempt at decoration and then it just stops. Apathetic decorating. The guy doesn't even care!

The kind of tea table I think that TV is on is the kind that one of my grandmother used to have, which was probably from about the 1930's. Except that hers haed a little scene carved into the center of the top of it, and then on top of THAT was a glass top that covered it which had wood trim around it.

The condition of the floor makes for a good photo, but it makes me kind of sad that what looks like a teenager is probably somehow stuck at his possibly-dead grandmother's house, possibly having just had to mow the lawn and is catching a few zz's.

It still her house, because of how old and not all that well-placed the things on the wall look, and her possibly being dead would explain why the curtains have already been taken down, but the rods remain. Also, one of his mother's siblings took the very nice rug that probably used to be in that area.

No, Joan, you're not warped.

Go, Curtis. You should hire yourself out as a sales agent to photographers.
