How a Coffee Table Fills the Frame

Pink mugs, glass servers and small cups spread across a wooden table. From above, the arrangement becomes a set of circles; from the side, hands and menus bring the setting back into view.

The photographs return to the same table from slightly different angles. Their interest lies in those small changes, not in proving how much coffee was drunk or turning the scene into a recommended order.
