 I had a completely different idea, but didn't have the means to do it. Then I got this idea all of a sudden. I'm not sure if it will be obvious enough that I'm playing the first Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). I'm sure alot of people will get that aspect of it, but I'm just not sure if most will. So this image may very well bomb.

I took this shot with a camera on a tripod facing down. For lighting I set up a Nikon SB-600 right at the base of the tripod pointing at my face. I fired it via Nikon CLS.

Nice facial expression! And the old controller is great. I'd crop the sides in a bit, though - it's extraneous info.
