Edwin Smith

In 1998 I went into the bathroom next to the office at my new job. I flicked on the light and looked up to find this photograph hanging on the wall. The frame's glass broke leaving only the frame and it's print but I begged them to sell it to me. They did and it has hung in every home I've lived in since then.
It reminds me of a Smiths song: dismal, beautiful, comforting and incredibly melancholy. Thanks to As the Clever Crow Flies, I found this picture of the photograph and discovered that Edwin Smith has a collection of his work available in print. Yay! I'm off to Amazon!
