About the title of this photograph, which also happens to be the title of this blog entry:
I am in this absolute wreck of an abandoned house (probably illegally) with some photographers/friends and each of us wandered into our own area, examining the light, the potential for photo ops and the general scene before us. There, amidst the old sofa cushions, crushed beer cans and old kitchen utensils strewn about I spy a decent, albeit very DIRTY, wooden kitchen table. There is sits, in the middle of absolute chaos. Beside it is an old fireplace. It appeared that the fireplace was covered over with dry wall at some point and then re-opened by tearing off the drywall in a very haphazard way. Now I like to think I have a pretty good ability at envisioning the potential of something and not just taking things at face value. This is especially true when it comes to real estate and this room in this dirty, creepy house was a large space with loads of potential (if you had around $400,000 to play with on its repair).

After studying the scene for a few minutes (and actually looking at the light and how it was streaming in through the window), it got me thinking in a very sarcastic way, "What time's dinner?"...this of course, is what led to the title of this photograph. I am not a funny person but I sometimes THINK I am :)...oh, well, I tried...
I am not sure which version I prefer so I have included both...
Cool work! I have been drawn to abandoned places since I was a kid, exploring scenes alot like this. I like both the color and B&W --- it would be hard to say which I like better. And, humor in art is good --- the title is great!
