Emptiness
Capturing images of a once thriving agency makes me realize how much one's office space is a stage but more importantly the absence of the actors on that stage is more profound than anything else.
Hints of people's presence remain: The well trodden steps; A fridge filled with a missed Friday afternoon's beer. TV remotes scattered across the cubicle shelf; Disheveled couches with stains that now shout of past mishaps.
Then there are the hints of organization behind closure: The lonely ethernet cables; the desk lamps lifeless but somehow hinting at sadness; Towering trash cans stoically holding to their color segregation.
This place once held amazing talent but perhaps of equal importance was the amazing character of the individuals - the performers on the stage.
Yes, our business benefits from having a great stage but it's the characters performing on that stage that make for the best theater.
