This is a photo of my very first film camera, Yashica Electro35 GX. I bought this in 1979 when I visited Taiwan. This camera served me for a long time and still goes until now. I am still keeping it for sentimental reason.

a little washed out, but overall very good shot

Was this taken in a smoked filled room. Even a black and white or sepia tone image can snap. This image doesn't snap.

I like the angle of the camara and placement of the other items, but the focus is a little to soft.

I like how you put the camera in context. Nice even lighting. Background is nice and simple. Overall image looks slightly flat. I think I would give it a little more darks.

Good idea - would have preferred an uncluttered background, without the cactus and the glass bottle behind the camera as they don,t really add anything to your concept. The sepia look was a good choice.
