I’m reminded of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, with the English Band “The Byrds” singing 🎶 Turn, Turn 🎶(attached below ⬇️)

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I am not too crazy about “props” in photos, but this is a great series! Well done!

Thank you Susanne - I kind of think of these more as 'urban' still life I suppose - I liked the idea of making something you'd normally photograph the backdrop to the object ( okay - I don't usually go around taking photos of toilets .... honest! )

Tell me how the toilet scene transfers to the kitchen scales? My OCD has been sent home. Amazing images!
