I liberated Bob H. from a Good Will thrift shop. Sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake. Bob is sort of a smart-ass. It was bound to happen eventually: his big mouth finally got him into trouble.
I decided to experiment with staging a still life using some disparate elements found around the house.

@orbitalbox: There not necessarily all consistent, but I guess that depends somewhat on interpretation. I just kept putting things into the frame until I thought there was enough for a shot.
This would make a great poster!!

@danthro: I'm not sure how many people catch on to that. I've posted it here and at JPG Mag and you're the only one to mention it. As far as the shot goes, I used garbage bags on the sides in the background to black out unwanted objects. I didn't use flash because I didn't want a lot of light or even illumination. The main light was a big rechargeable flashlight, and the background light was a clip on lamp up above the framed print (which, btw, is of George Washington and family).
PREVIEW ONLY
