What's the importance of objects in our everyday life, and how does their presence influence our desires?
Objects of Desire is an annual photography contest featuring the best still-life commercial and editorial pictures, as well as fine-art and personal projects by photographers from all over the world. The contest is organized by Photo District News (PDN), a monthly magazine for professional photographers.
