the whole deal with painting with light :)

My inspiration to submitting this photo is earlier on this week I went up to my teacher and asked her what she thought of my photo. Orginally I was only going to paint my name with light and leave it at that. Then my photography teacher suggested that it would be a cool idea if she saw me in the picture and my name to the side. So I decided to take my techer's advice and do what she suggested.
