Chairs!

The "chair" that I've most recently begun using several times a week is
an exercise ball (inset picture) which I sit on in front of my desk while using the computer, and
I use it as a footstool while sitting in the arm chair to exercise my legs;
supposed to build strength and balance.

(The two fellows in the photographs are 2 of my brothers ~ the one on the left was killed by a drunk driver the year after that picture was taken.)

Kodak Z650
1/8s f/2.8 at 6.3mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very interesting seating arrangement for your computer. I should get one of those, so I can bounce up and down, get the blood flowing to the creative parts of my brain! I am sorry to hear about your brother. Drunk driving is the worst kind of crime.

Love the tones and the chair. I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your brother. I hate it when I hear about that. I've lost a few friends due to drunk driving.

How sad about the loss of your brother. An unusual composition that tells so much about who you are and what is meaningful in your life.

An elegant chair, contrasted with an exercise ball! Well done.

I have one of these balls but can't get motivated to use it. I might try your uses of it.

A sad story. A lovely picture.
And: using an exercise ball as footstool is very good for your back too.

A nice comp, Carol...how awful for your family...my son in law lost his brother in the same way, his children were only very young.
