Q5. How did you come up with the idea of this shot?
I've taken shots of every other light source in the house, so now I'm trying to work my way through objects that diffuse or refract light as well. This shot was a logical progression in terms of the continuing exploration of the concept of 'light painting'.

Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
The only vaguely amusing anecdote from this shot involves the (fairly common) occurrence of my wife sticking her head around the door and quickly replacing the initially baffled expression on her face with a rolling of the eyes and a vague sigh, then closing the door without a word.
