Very nice. I especially like the blown-out window.

superb tilts, crop-ins, blown-outs and cracks, they give a lovely fortuitousness to the scene that i like a lot. strongly intimate.

Nice. Not only is the photo vintage, but the subject is too.

In the interest of full disclosure, this photo was taken by my father in about 1938. It was his college dormitory room (actually I think it was a room in a boarding house). Presented here as scanned from original B&W print with a 25% sepia filter added. This may not be consistent with the topic which I suppose was about making a modern picture look vintage.

Am I the only one who feels something is missing here?

It is sort of empty, isn't it? I have often wondered why my father took this picture and what he was trying to express. But, at least for me, that "absence" speaks to me of the loss of my father. But, that is my personal interpretation.

I still think it's appropriate. The emptiness speaks of the cold, impersonal feeling from staying in such a place. And I think it's very appropriate in this image.

grats for being featured.

I wondered, where you found such an old looking room, but this is real. Great stuff and glad, you still have it.
