Not really sure what this is, and so it didn't jump out at me as relevant to the theme. As a general photo, though, it seems well done, and would probably work well as a stock image.

I'm not quite seeing the relevance. I'm guessing maybe it's an old letter but I can't tell. Then again, I never have claimed to be too bright. ;)

Interesting take on the theme, but out of context of the theme I wouldn't have thought "old age" for this image. I don't recognize the language, so to my eyes it could really be from any era.

Nice idea, like the shot.
