Must be the crosses, white covers and the triengular shape on the top all piecing together in our minds and being associated with a similar memory. Fascinating picture, and good processing, it would be very boring in colour I guess.
not nearly as good and there was a terrible issue with colour casts as its daylight at the windows most of the lighting is tungsten and there are flourescent lights too.
But you just knew looking at the scene it was going to be mono with that ceiling and those chairs that was the picture so I set up the tripod and took the shot :)
There was some stacked furniture to the right that i kept out of frame but its pretty much what i saw when i walked in the door.
When anyone mentions KKK i think now of “oh brother where art thou” with the one eyed KKK man cracks me up :)
