The Office

As many of us question the necessity of working from an office, this photographic series - taken in the days before wifi and iPhones - is a poignant reminder of how things once were. Teetering stacks of paper, off-kilter filing cabinets, gum-white computer monitors and the cold glow of the Xerox machine; what were once essential tools now stand as whimsical relics to a former life. Capturing this corporate world with a tender yet satirical eye, American photographer Steven Ahlgren's nostalgic series will resonate with anyone who has ever loved, hated or simply endured office life.
