A while back, someone commented that the photos in the "On Your Desk" series could be viewed as still-life portraits of the people who work at those desks. Perhaps the same can be said of kitchen tables on a lazy Sunday morning. In that spirit, I'm calling the transient still-life on the table above "Portrait of a Household."
