I was so thrilled to walk into this room and find an immense collection of Singer sewing machines surrounded by hundreds of books. I came back to this room to photograph it at different times of the day as I was here for several hours. Shortly after I photographed this, thinking I was finished, I went to shoot the lounge downstairs. I previously didn’t open the shutter to let in any more light as I was worried I may get spotted. But since it was the last room I decided to try my luck. A man was right by the window with his dog and as soon as I opened it, he shouted “Hey!”. “Bonjour!” I said, and quickly shut the shutter, ran to pack my bag and headed to the window to accept my fate. But he had disappeared, so I legged it out of there as quickly as I could.
