The story;

It was a long day of work. I returned home, it was dark and I was already bit tired. And I hadn't taken any pictures during the day. For a moment I thought that maybe this is a good day to quit doing the "Picture of They Day" - what if I'm running out of ideas? Then, on the other hand, I felt that it is a good challenge for me, fuelling creativity.

Usually that lamp is hanging near the ceiling, being the only source of electric light indoors. Looking at it, it came to my mind that in a Finnish movie there is a scene where a man grabs such a lamp, pretending it to be a microphone when he sings a piece of tango. I tried to take such a picture, but got inspired to try a Statue of Liberty -pose. Which, thinkin of it, felt rather absurd. I realized that most of all I felt like Diogenes :)

Yup, I guess Diogenes of Sinope has been one of my sources of inspiration. (As a slightly related note, the tiny white figure in my bookshelf, just above the lamp - he is Socrates. Another source of inspiration for me, when I was studying at the university)
