"Among his own observations, Rybczynski cites essayist and critic Mario Praz’s ideas concerning 'Stimmung' or 'the sense of intimacy that is created by a room and its furnishings.' 'Stimmung', he says is 'a characteristic of interiors that has less to do with functionality than with the way that room conveys the character of its owner.' I believe photographs of our possessions and domestic patterns can be portraits, just like photographs of our faces."
