The TV Room - a photo on Flickriver

The TV Room

            This candid cellphone shot was taken and processed in May, 2017. It was snapped while I waited to see my mother, who was spending her last few years in a nursing home.  I look at it every so often, and It pulls at me every time I see it. I've never shown it publically until now.

Photographs can work to build empathy, by helping us better understand and appreciate our mutual human condition. I don't know if this shot qualifies on that level, but  even if it does, my feelings about posting it remain mixed.  

Spontaneous, uninvited photographs can be seen as unwelcome by those being photographed. Given that, I decided to wait until most, if not all, of those in the photo had passed on and, hopefully....would be past caring.  If I have not waited long enough for any who may be dissatisfied with it, I apologize.
