Why couches?

About a year or so ago, somebody posted a picture to an online community I belong to of a couch that had been abandoned in the street, and it caught my attention. It was just such an unusual thing to take a picture of. I ended up taking a few pictures and sending them to this person, but after a few emails, I stopped sending them and continued taking them for myself.

As I collected more and more images of abandoned couches, I couldn't help but think of how large a part of our lives a couch becomes. We buy one to put in the most frequented room of the house, and we spend a lot of time on it, whether we're watching television, playing video games, hanging out with friends or family, lovemaking, or just taking a nice afternoon nap. Think of all the things that a couch experiences. Forget the walls: if that couch  could talk!
