Before the Next Game
An old wooden backgammon board lies open on a plain table, its cream and dark wood triangles interrupted by a lifted piece of veneer.

Quiet documentary photograph, square 1:1. Overhead view of one old folding wooden backgammon board lying open diagonally on a plain grey kitchen table, its entire outline visible with breathing room. Alternating cream and dark walnut inlaid triangles form a strong graphic rhythm. One triangle has a small lifted veneer corner; softened wooden edges and a dull brass hinge show its actual unrestored condition. No checkers, dice, tools or decorative props. Fading blue-hour window glow enters from the left, with gentle shadow beneath the raised veneer and naturally warm honey-coloured wood against the cooler tabletop. Realistic exposure, readable shadow detail, restrained natural colour. A straightforward condition-record photograph with editorial composition, 50mm lens, board surface in focus. Preserve irregular existing wear without adding dirt, distressing or film grain. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
