I thought this shot was quite ironic as the saying goes 'loosing your marbles' and here at the charity shop they are found and displayed in a marble ash tray.
This feeling of finding objects within a charity shop is quite somber as all the items are ones that used to belong somewhere to someone and now they have been given away for free.
The feeling of not being wanted but all of them together, re-united, in the shop ready to be sold again is quite a nice one!

Bow-Tie
On my search for interesting places to photograph I was fortunate enough to get some time in the Shelter Charity Shop Blackpool. As we all know charity shops are an eclectic mixture of objects that once placed on the shelves can sometimes represent modern art.
This vintage bow-tie caught my eye as it was in a beautiful box stood looking proud on the glass shelve.
This makes me think of the person who used to own it, question who he was, what he looked like and the story of its journey to the shop?
There will be more in this series but I think this one is my favourite one out of them all. Simple and interesting.
