This chair appeared the back alley the other day. I can only assume a time machine brought it forward in time because no real person would still have one of these?

Found objects in photography is a form of surrealism. Everyday objects found in unusual places, or unusual objects found in every day places. Eugène Atget a posthumously famous photographer from the 1920s was seen as a living found-object by Berenice Abbott, an assistant to Man Ray.

I tried, unsuccessfully I might add, to take pictures of people in the crappy chair. But no one could do it.
