A Quiet Room, Caught on Camera

These nine photographs were all taken on quiet afternoons, hours before the first hand of the evening — the room looks different once the house lights are up and four tables are full.

Nothing here is staged beyond turning the lights on early; the tables, the counter and the yard out back all look much as they do on any given night.
