thanks for the very interesting tale. You will probably find that it's one of those things that would have been worth a fortune, unpolished. I like the B/W effect.

For old times sake - created by jerostone
Of-course I’m not expecting to reap any photographic laurels with this one, but I somehow feel emotionally attached to it, as I bought it ages ago from a state-run antiques shop in Canton, China –oh yes, Chairman Mao was still alive and ticking!! Curved on a square piece of redish wood, it looked wonderfully dull color-wise and ancient, something which apparently didn’t sit all that well with the lady I was living with at the time, so she had it lacquered, silly you-know-what. I did try to shoot it from different angles, but my efforts hardly paid any dividends, because it was coming out too dark and blurry. (5 years and 2987 days ago)

Yes, friiski, and to think that, when I bought it, I was also given a certificate of authenticity as to its oldness!!!!

Awesome job Author!!! Out of all the lighting techniques I've used I never even thought about this, I love it. I especially like your choice in background.

Nice shot, but I find the border on the background a little disconcerting (minor though)
