“ Major Tom to ground control ”

"This is Major Tom to ground control
You're stepping through the door
And you're floating in the most peculiar way
And the office it looks different today"

With apologies to David Bowie.

Where I work it's perfectly normal to go about your day with an astronaut suit standing behind you.

Photo Location: Deloitte, 8 Parramatta Square, Parramatta, Australia

Very nicely composed Troy. If I had an astronaut suit in my office I'd want to photograph it! But alas, just bookshelves, dust and files. Very nicely conceived and shot.

I have so many questions about this photo. I love all the possible stories I'm creating out of it- really well done!

Completely intrigued as to where you work where this is normal! I really like the mystery aspect of the picture and the fact there are so many bits to look at.

my fav .. !! ..
and i'm seeing more that i like than when i saw it in fb ..
especially the three heads .. the astronaut of course and the person in the pic who looks very interesting .. and then the person with half a head ..
they say in photography three of something can elevate a photo or something ..
i couldnt remember exactly the details so i googled it ..
"There are benefits to using this “triangulated” approach to composition: in many instances, using a triangle also helps you create leading lines in your composition; or having three elements in the frame can help lead your viewer's gaze into the depths of the frame"

not sure if you did this consciously or whether it was an intuitive thing .. but it really appealed to me ..
i loved the quirkyness too .. :)
