I knew I wanted to shoot this old school desk as soon as I saw it. As interesting as it was sitting alone, the water dripping off of the desktop made it that much more compelling to me. I love the detail in the iron frame of the desk and the rich quality of the wood.
Also, you can see on the upper right hand corner of the desktop, the hole for the ink well. Think about it … an open container of toxic material on every child’s desk! How did our parents and grandparents survive?

Really cool to see bits of history like this. That ironwork is absolutely fantastic!
Stunning image today. I like the contrast of the desk to the floor. Fabulous shot!
Awesome shot. Love the texture in it. What a cool desk!
Very cool shot Bob – dig the processing and the grimy water.
Love the detail !!
Very nice! I like that you left some darkness in this image, I think it really adds to it.
That’s a great find… never have seen a desk like this. You captured the details and texture in the wood perfectly.
Bob, totally awesome my friend! I LOVE the tones and processing you’ve done to really add a huge sense of drama to the setting!!
Bob – I love that you captured the name of the manufacturer and all the lovely details of the iron work.
Is the Mill Pictures display open to the public? A friend and I have been following your images of the Mills and would love to see them.
This is fantastic! Love the detail and POV!
Nice find, nice and moody feel as well, nicely done
Awesome photo the textures and tones look great. To answer you question,”How did our parents and grandparents survive” simple Darwin! The stupid kids who drank the ink didn’t make it.
Thats pretty amazing details on a school bench – mine did not have that when i went to school. Great PP as always.
Very rich image Bob, I dig it!
