I loved the glass of the lamp and took a few shots to try to capture it. My first one, this one, was really underexposed and I thought I blew it and continued with another three or four shots until I got the glass. I imported them into LR and saw the filament in this one and just loved it. I loved the idea that there was the spark of light and that I've hardly ever seen it. The glass seemed so mundane compared to this little feat of engineering. Who would have ever thought of taking a tiny filament, sticking it in an airtight bubble of glass and then pumping 100W into it to create a tool we can't live without anymore. Capturing the filament was one of those happy accidents.
