At the end of town I found a little green house with a fascinating assortment of objects inside.  The door was locked so I couldn’t go inside, so I aimed my camera at the window and tried to take a shot through.  I noticed as I adjusted my focus that the room inside was completely obscured by the dust on the window pane when I used shallow focus.  I liked the texture of the dust on the glass.  No edits.

This is what the room looked like inside, with a deep focus through the haze of dust on the glass.  There was so many things inside it looked more like a storage shed than a living room.  I like the old typewriter on the shelf on the left, and the set of crutches that can just barely be seen on the right.
