Something old

Another of the 30 day challenges was to capture something old. I have a lovely cabinet that fits the bill, but since I'm trying to stretch my mind when it comes to how to portray something, I decided against just taking a picture of it against the wall. Instead, I took several pictures of different details on the cabinet.

 

The cabinet has a key that opens several doors and such. It's a simple key, but I've always loved it's old style. Since the key is at least as old as the cabinet, it qualifies as "something old" all by itself, but I think this image gives it some context, in an unusual way. This is looking down the cabinet, towards the floor. I'm pleased that the key came out perfectly in focus, and that all the background is blurred - that was the intention, and it's always nice when plans pan out.
