I like the composition on this one as you can see how the kitchen connects to the great room - it's really all one gigantic space and I didn't want to break it up. That's one factor that dictated why the shot is so wide, the other, believe it or not, is a burned out lightbulb. You can't see it, but there's a dead lightbulb that's been cropped out.

Talk about open space…

If you were to go through a bunch of my other interior images, you'll notice that these two don't really fit - it's not the architecture, it's the tonality. The light, muted colors make for images with very little contrast. They don't fit into the work I typically do, which is one reason why I like them so much.
