yes they were. better to sit in, better to photo. takezzo is right the muted colors are really cool. I also like the split wall color .very nice. It just all goes. one in a million.

Thanks for your kind words everyone! And I also agree with jason, philippe and lauren - it was ALL better in the 70's, not just chairs

Thanks again for the comments and favourites.

For those who want the chairs - I went to visit them again today, and they are gone :^( Someone cleaned up the basement in the Biological Sciences building for the first time in maybe 50 years! The chairs are probably in the dumpster out back. Me and the car should visit the dumpster tomorrow.

I'm glad I shot these when I did. This is perhaps the first lesson of photography - shoot when you see, because tomorrow what you see may be gone

Well done! And you are right about shooting it while you can. I've had more than one "potential" subject demolished, moved, taken down, or otherwise disappear.

Thanks for the compliment WadeB. Yeah, nothing hurts more than the one that got away!
