Almost sure of a DNMC barrage of votes but my I like the idea of the photo and hey I don't collect stuff; I also don't throw much away so maybe that counts.
Anyway the idea was an old man with classic glasses (think uncle scrooge) that's collected dust particles from the air... and the idea becomes obvious once you see the photo. Maybe in a few months/years I'll get to the level where i can execute the picture in my head.
I really would have liked more space around the subject, to express more the feeling of solitude in a lonely job, but the time and space limits put me here.
If it lands over 5 in this challenge I'll be surprised as I know that those who do collect things, and are also photographers, are very good at their hobbies and/or work!

Ohh... collecting dust. I thought for sure he collected "that which collects dust" AKA antiques. A better title, to me, would have been "HE who collects dust" maybe.
But I like my story... that he's an antiques collector.
So much going on here, I really like this photo. Choice of B&W, vignette, angles and the reflection, catching him in mid-movement. Very interesting.
I have to admit, I am struggling to see where this fits in the particular challenge. Perhaps I am missing something.
I can't say that I understand the collection, but I like the shot. I'm guessing that you collect antiques and restore them? You're in the process of restoring a vanity in this shot? Nice composition and lighting. The low key works well here.
Well this will undoubtedly get a nod from PH. I am trying to figure out what is going on here, but have to say, it is a very fascinating scene. Perfectly lit and well composed. The title suggests he is collecting dust? I'll take your word for it. Gotta give this a 9 10.
