Gathered up a few items and placed them on the table. Discovered that I had no good way of eliminating or blocking the background images from other room and still life shots from above just didn't do much for me.

Arranging the items was a challenge as I can't even arrange my sock drawer.

But here they are. Popup Link backlit bottle

It looks like the back of the room is pretty dark naturally. Maybe you could put your light source to one side of your scene so the background is not illuminated as much. Then, if you use photoshop or something like it, you could darken the background further. Do you burn cones to cover the smell of banana friction? P.S. Someone needs to get you a gift certificate to Crate & Barrel...red wine is much better in a bigger glass. ;)

Given the assortment of items, the banana is...inspired? Or is it required?

Oh yuck. Nothing worse than the smell of burning banana.

Does smoking banana peels get you high? I think I heard that once...

The back-lit one is pretty. But bob is just wrong! HAHHAH! Pretty much with you on the arranging things challenge, though.

Thanks for all the good feedback. Just a note here...that actually is an oil lamp and not a cone insence burner. As for Bob....I have an odd sense of humor, sorry. lol

Everthing was making sense, then in came Bob. What kind of games do you play when you feel romantic? You frighten me.

I like the randomness of the objects. The choice of the condoms was pretty slick!

I feel like I suddenly found myself in the twilight zone, things are mixed up, odd, yet strangely familiar.

I have to say this is the most interesting still life I have ever seen. A person gets sick of looking at a buch of fruit or flowers piled up, ya know?!?! At least you stired things up....I love it!
