1. In this photograph I see trash and dirty dishes. There are two plants. One a vase full of lilies, and a bigger plant in a pot. It looks like there might also be some newspaper and maybe a picture frame in the background.

2. I would like to know what the photographer was doing when he took this picture, was he reading the newspaper and saw that the lighting was right for the lilies so snapped the shot? Or did he purposefully take it with the mess around? 

3. I think he is trying to say that you can have a mess all around you and still be able to see the beauty that is in front of you.
