Night Light
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

This vase has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have ever made -- I'm fascinated by how different lights and backgrounds are seen through it. This was taken in my china cabinet, with a mirror behind it, intense lights above it and a lava lamp base beneath it. For a picture of the actual vase, go to http://www.pbase.com/image/21596084

Thank you everybody for your comments! I don't want to overdo this vase, but it's such great fun, I can't help myself. Plus it looks stunning in my house as well :-)). And Luben, that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me --- and even more so coming from someone whose work I admire quite a bit. I like to eat, though, so going professional might be a bit risky for me :-)). Helen

Helen,

The quality and the consistency of your photography is very inspiring. I don't know what you do, but photography should definitely be your profession.

Yet another great photo
