L.A. photographer finds beauty in abandoned couches


It's a sixth sense, he says, the way he can see the couches.

"They tend to lurk and you kind of have to look carefully," Andrew Ward says as he drives through the streets of L.A.'s West Adams neighbourhood, scanning the curbs for abandoned furniture.

Somehow he spots one hidden behind two parked cars.

"We're south L.A., just south of the 10 freeway and La Brea. And there's our first candidate there. It's an armchair, but it's good," Ward says.

The candidate is a grey one-seater adorned, for a reason only known to its former owner, with a seatbelt. It looks a little like Captain Kirk's chair ... if Kirk were homeless.
