of my digital photography age by gmc

This is the picture that convinced me to buy a digital SLR and get back into photography.
Funny the images name is 'Insignificant' - maybe for the photographer but not for me

Fascinating. And an E10 image. Was this the reason you bought an E10 as well?
Got to ask - how did you come to be looking at the gallery in question.
Cheers, Ga.

Thanks for the comments Shirley - yes it's me and I had the idea for the shot the other day but it came out much better than I anticipated. The light ( with it's rays ) and the colours were all accidental but as soon as I saw it I knew I liked it. Hey I know what you mean about describing pictures - I just know what I like without knowing why
cheers Gerard

Hi GMC,

Of the photos I've seen of yours, this one is my favorite. (of course I've not seen them all!!) I love the lamp reflections on the wall, they remind me of what my crystal lamp on my desk does. I think what makes this one stand out for me is the colors. The sillohette of (you?) and the photo showing on the monitor just happens to have colors that the wall color brings out. I am not good at saying how I feel about photos. I seem to like something or I just don't. This one just came together for me and is pleasing to look at.
