The interrogation room
Found this front door of apartment building when I was hiking around the neighborhood couple of days ago. What is this place, I immediately thought, when I noticed security camera above the door. Notice that there is also a platform for pin codes and a pretty solid looking door. For some odd reason window on a top conjures up, in my mind, an image of a interrogation room. It's a gray and dreary room with one light hanging from the ceiling. Underneath the light there is a simple table and three chairs – one for me and two for my interrogators. They are though guys that look like they've done this before: the good cop and the bad cop. 'What are your next ideas? What kind of pictures are you going to do for tomorrow?', they bully on me, and I'm unable to answer, because I don't even know it myself.
Start of my photo blog has been surprisingly successful. I've had pretty nice amount of traffic, but it is the acceptance and encouraging welcome that I've received in from many sources what I really appreciate. This is all new to me and I guess I'm still finding out how to relate to it. I just hope that all this encouragement I've received is not in straight relation to expectations. It's still just ordinary me, trying to figure out how to shoot 73 pictures that has something black in them. One by one.
'Look, we are your only friends and the system out there doesn't care a bit about you. It will chew a guys like you ten times every day and be done with them. So why don't you help us to help yourself and reveal your plans. It's really a best thing there is for you', says the good cop while the bad one is digging up a some sort of machine from a locker in a shady corner. Looks like there are some electric wires hanging from it ...
