Just an idea I had about photo saying more than a thousand words. Pictures can be used to communicate in all languages and between generations. Photos on the table are old photos from my father. Used one halogen lamp for lighting and the room light. Did some croping of the orginal.

Well this being my first challenge entry I would like to thank those who took time to voted for my photo and specially those who gave comments. I hadn´t realised how much I means to get somones opinion on your work. Most of the comments I got were about my photo not being in focus but that's actually what I was going for. I wanted the photos in the back to be in focus. But after getting those comments and looking harder on my entry. . . I don't know what I was thinking! Of course the camera and the whole pic had to be in focus but I'm still learning and I'm sure I'll do it better in next challenge :)
In line with the challenge, though I wonder if a different (less standard) composition could have given this shot a unique feel. Focus of picture draws to camera lens, which is dead center in the "foul zone" which doesn't leave too much of a natural path for the eye to follow. Using the rule of thirds might give the shot some more energy
A little soft on the camer and lens. The sepia works, but I think it's also a tad strong. A diffuser on your flash/lighting would have helped the glare from the lens as well.
I really like the composition and the concepts that you have captured here. The sepia tone works well for this. IMO - it would be better if the camera were in focus and not the background.
