Everyone has a box of old photographs they don't know what to do with. Artist Joseph Heidecker came up with an interesting idea to put those old photos to use. This photo furniture project shows off his finished products.
Each piece is created from found items. From far away, the work by Joseph Heidecker looks gray and not very interesting. Up close, however, the slideshow comes to life. These pieces by Joseph Heidecker are a new take on displaying photographic history.
