Wot?!? Only one lens and camera?!?!?!? ;) So, you found a nice way to transform a 90/2 into a fish eye lens... Seriously: this is the type of picture that will give you at least some fond memories of an otherwise difficult time with all the medical trouble your wife has gone through. These are the "little" things that are so important in every day life and that make a big difference to the way one handles things. Again, my best to your wife and I hope the rest of the recovery goes well! Then, as a picture, what really makes this a neat photograph to me is the way you can clearly see from your big grin (isn't everything always bigger in Texas? ;) ) just how much fun you have at taking pictures. That's what I think the Olympus list and photography in general is all about; you have just given a great demonstration of that!

When I first saw this photo I though Tom was in a bath tub filled with bubbles. I'm always looking for strange things to take photos of and this one is great.
