When I asked people things like, "What's the best way to learn about art?" I
seemed to keep getting an answer similar to, "Go look at lots of art." I
figure that I'm still in the "self-teaching" phase. ;-)
"Family" is a(nother) truly great image. I really can't imagine how much
went into its design. Other personal favorite are "Closing Time" and "Going
West". But they're all great.
On another note, it's nice to see all your old images categorized. I think
it's fair to say that we can see how your abilities have grown, as well as
POV-Ray and computer processing in general. It also makes me wish that I
had known about POV-Ray in 1993, instead of finding it in 2002. Wow! 1994!
It makes me think that the ability to render extremely complex scenes, which
was lacking back then, is slowing down the ability to produce more scenes.
In other words, it still takes about as long to model the same scene, but
complex scenes take far longer to model, even though they can be rendered
faster. Now, we can also see how some images were modified over time to
portray different meanings (e.g. "chambre.jpg" and "Indifference").

Don't worry, it will never stops, it's like being an eternal student.

Actually I'm missing the 1993-1995 period, because there was a lot of
innocence involved in making these images in POV-Ray, having limited
technical means and no Internet access, peer pressure and tutorials... So
many things couldn't be done at all that there was an obligation to be
creative and explore new ways (which weren't actually new, but as I said
there was a lot of innocence). The technical means we have now are simply
impressive and can be harnessed to create good images, but something was
lost in the process of, well, growing up...
