capturing light

I love the beauty that comes from different types of light. Good lighting is key for taking a good photo, but I'm almost scared to try and capture light itself because those photos so rarely do justice to what I see...pretty sunsets, shadows on a wall. This photo was a bold attempt at allowing light to be the subject of a photo. I was lying in bed, looking up at the lovely patterns on my ceiling and decided to take a risk...and I'm glad I did.
