I got home without taking a picture today so I tried a few things at home with no luck. Then I messaged my sister "Cagie" and said "Come up with an idea! I can't think of anything to photograph!" This is actually the first time I asked anyone for an idea. She messaged back "Take a picture of yourself in something shiny!" I replied "I like shiny things", then I thought "hmmm... what is there around the house that's shiny?" I picked up a spoon and started looking at myself in it when my sister sent me a message saying "A spoon!". So that's what I did! So thanks go to Cagie for helping me come up with something to photograph tonight! The color behind the spoon is a demon blowing up in a scene in "Charmed" on TV.

I love the background...but it's made better by the sharpness of the foreground. :-)

Good idea! I like that. And it's good to know that I'm not the only one who is shy of ideas...

This is simply *too* cool!
Guest 07-Mar-2004 01:37
Very creative background. :-)

Nice job, Paul and Cagie! Can I message Cagie next time I'm stuck!?

Very clever .. nicely done. Man, that dof is really something else. You are so full of clever ideas ... a real inspiration.

I just love the demon fire background. Neat shot!

This turned out great! Love the way you have cropped the shot and the background seems to suit this.

Hello Mate, nice to see you.
Just look at that positioning, great.
Guest 02-Mar-2004 13:24
Excellent... color in the background looks like some kind of fancy backdrop!

Very cool job for your sister's "assignment" to you, Paul. Cool background, I'm wondering what it is.

Well, kudos to you because you've photographed this quite well.

Brilliant idea, and very well done. I really like the contrast between the sharp and well lit object, and the completely blurred background.

The room behind you looks a bit messy. Clean up Paul.
Guest 02-Mar-2004 09:12
