I did another [instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/COBIzU-HUSJ/), which also marks my first background story accompanying my fine art prints. I’ll be adding it to the product page right after writing this Monologue.

I try to approach these stories as if I’m seeing the photos for the first time myself. Allowing my to eyes wander and myself to wonder about the image. As I take a good careful look at all the elements in the frame, I just write whatever surfaces. It’s not your typical background story for a photo, but it’s a story nonetheless.

“*Ah, a photo of a lamppost. Cute. Oh but wait, it has a shadow too. And it falls right in the middle of that window behind it. Now that I mention it, those windows form a nice little pattern, don’t they?*

*The whole thing looks... old. Or not necessarily old but maybe dated? As if that building has been there for a while. Or at least the lamppost has. How old do lampposts generally get anyway...? Ten years, fifty years? A hundred? Nah, not a hundred, that’s ridiculous. Though it certainly could be from the looks of it, if it weren’t for that sticker. That sticker soils the fun.*

*You know what fun isn’t spoiled though?*

*Looking at this photo. It’s wonderfully mundane. Interesting in its simplicity. I could hang it on my wall and stare at it everyday. As a gentle reminder how simple daily life can be. How we are just existing, hanging around. How we should be content with that. As I imagine that lamppost is.*”
