A shot of a table's contents at my good friend Ralph's house. A retired graphic artist for Pratt & Whitney, Ralph is an incurable collector of "Stuff!" His house is visual overload... and he always has some good jazz or blues playing on the stereo.
Nice composition but, for me at least, the lampshade is just too white. It looks like a white cut-out. A nice oil lamp (or even a lower wattage bulb) might have reduced the intensity to the point where it takes on a 'shape'.
