Curiousity, by Kurt

Today, our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day is Kurt. His picture is undoubtedly an abstract composition, and that may mean it won't click with everyone, but I personally found myself intrigued by this image. I'd better let Kurt explain what's going on:
"'Curiousity' was one of a number I took during a visit to San Francisco when it rained heavily the entire trip, so I particularly enjoyed a visit to the SF MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) where this was taken while laying on the floor shooting through a walkway high overhead." I wonder if it would be worth submitting the picture to MOMA for display there.
We like to learn a bit about featured POTD photographers, and Kurt is no exception: "I am a life-long amateur photographer (with more enthusiasm than skill) who has always enjoyed photography from the age of about nine years old when I received a bakelite "VP twin" camera for my birthday (http://www.photomemorabilia.co.uk/My_First.html). My photography has been an intermittent joy ever since, particularly when I have had the means of development and printing. Digital Photography has been a joy giving me complete control over the development and cropping of the image. I currently use a Nikon D70 and Lumix TZ5. My wife and I retired late in 2007 and having sold our home near Cambridge spent most of 2008 travelling around Europe in our Smart Car. We have now returned to the UK and settled (for the present) in Dorset and I hope to find more time to spend on my hobby."
Thanks Kurt, and keep those pictures coming!
